Good value, good location
The Normandy Hotel is a very nice "boutique" hotel, and we got a good room rate. The guest rooms and common areas are attractive, and there is a daily "wine and cheese hour" in the early evening. Our main concern with the hotel was that we could hear noise from other rooms -- a couple having sex in the next room, and women talking loudly late into the night across the hall. Also, the continental breakfast and parking are expensive -- we chose to skip the continental breakfast. Some rooms have a very distinctive wallpaper, but we were able to move to a room with solid-color walls.
