Mercure Deauville Hotel du Yacht Club, Deauville

Don't be fooled by the publicity photos of this hotel!. They suggest that it overlooks the marina in Deauville. In fact the hotel takes a small part of the building, most of it is an apartment block and the vast majority of the bedrooms overlook a sidestreet and an empty France Telecom office block. The so called "bar" is smaller than your average front room and was closed because it had been used for a meeting and no one seemed to be prepared to clear up the debris.
