Mogador in Bayeux

WARNING: DON’T STAY HERE

This was by far the worst hotel experience of my life. From the very beginning, the staff treated us with shocking arrogance and complete lack of respect. We had booked through Booking.com and informed them in advance that we might arrive just a few minutes after 10pm, asking politely if there was any possibility of a late check-in option, a code for the door, or even a key box. Instead of helping, they replied in a rude, dismissive, and condescending way, basically telling us essentially: “If you’re not here before 10, too bad—you’ll sleep in the street.”

We were forced to rush with the car, skipping dinner and driving under stress just to make it on time. When we arrived—five minutes before 10pm—the reception was completely abandoned. I rang the bell several times, worried because my wife was waiting in the car. Finally, two staff members came out, but instead of welcoming us, they immediately started yelling aggressively, insulting us, calling us rude, and even suggesting we should go sleep outside or in our car if we didn’t like their attitude. They shouted at us for several minutes like we were criminals, making us feel humiliated and shocked. I have never been treated so badly at any hotel.

On top of that, the rooms are terrible. The walls are paper-thin, and starting from 6am we could hear every shower, every door slam, every conversation from other guests. Sleeping was almost impossible with all the noise.

This was an absolutely horrible experience from start to finish: hostility, insults, threats, no professionalism whatsoever, and zero hospitality. We felt mistreated and deeply uncomfortable the whole time. Please, do yourself a favor—don’t stay at this hotel.

Before retirement, I traveled for a living and I've stayed in over 3000 hotel rooms. Without reservation this is the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. The Wi-Fi did not work. The television did not work. The place was dingy and had an odor. Also, the manager/owner was very condescending. Not sure who is the positive reviews came from, but I would suggest that they came from the hotel themselves. My suggestion is to look for any other alternatives and that includes camping out in the park.
