Auberge Saint-Pierre

Well, the value of staying on the Mont is not having to go back and forth on the shuttle, which is set up nicely but can get crowded. So, you get to walk right out the front door of the hotel and there you are. You also have a quiet place to get away from the crowds. The Auberge Saint Pierre was clean with a very friendly staff. Anne got us a code for parking right away when we emailed her within a few hours of our arrival. Don't sweat the parking if you have never done this. It was super easy and all the instructions are on the Auberge's web site. Basically, there is a parking lot just for hotel guests that is closer to the pick up point for the shuttle. You pull up, put in the code they give you, get your parking ticket, and find a spot. Then, you walk to the shuttle pick up point which is right next to the parking lot. Our room was clean and the breakfast was very standard in a private dining room just for hotel guests. Breakfast was quiet and away from the crowds. My only advice is try to be chill with the staff. Anne was very attentive and answered all of our questions. They even have a private back door for guest for after hours entrance from the rampart behind the hotel. Our room was tight but we expected that. The bathroom was very clean with one of the all purpose shower shampoo/bath gel dispensers. Americans just need to remember that this place was built hundreds of years ago so don't expect big spaces. Pack light and enjoy the Abbey. Mont Saint Michele is basically Disney World but with a must see medieval Abbey that is unbelievable to tour. It's worth the crowds and staying at Auberge Saint Pierre makes it that much easier. There are people there from all over the world so just relax, take it in, and if you want to stay on the Mont, this place was great.
