As other reviewers have noted, the property is a little older, but I did not come to northern France to stay at a modern US hotel. Overall it was clean and accommodating. We really did not know much about St. Malo. It was a tourist destination my son wanted to see. Had I known more, I would have booked several days here instead of just one. Unfortunately we got to the establishment at midnight after a long day of sight-seeing and didn’t realize St. Malo has an energetic night life. There is no parking inside of the city walls. There is quite a bit of paid parking just outside the walls. Unfortunately, I have no idea of general availability. Because we got there so late, close parking was not hard to get. Even at midnight, though, we saw families with strollers and young children so it is very safe. We actually strolled a couple of blocks after we checked in and enjoyed our time in the city after dark. Keep in mind, English is not as common outside of Paris. We brought our son who is a fluent French speaker. But you will need to know at least a little French here.
