Driving in to Honfleur I was immediately enchanted with the town and found the Hotel L’Absinthe easily. The hotel was ideally situated for exploring the town, with lots of narrow cobblestoned streets and old colorful buildings reflected in the water. There were several excellent restaurants within a minute's walk. For some reason I was upgraded to a nicer room, luckily on the ground floor and not up the narrow steep stairs. It was the largest room of my trip, with an actual luggage rack for once, good lighting, and a large bathroom with a step-in shower. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had a towel warmer. The young desk clerk was very helpful, especially with restaurant recommendations. They offer secure garaged parking for a fee, which I took advantage of. The garage is about a ten-minute walk from the hotel. The bonus was a friendly resident Golden Retriever named Obama.
