I highly recommend the Caen Memorial (museum), preferably before you tour the D-Day sights unless you are very well read on the invasion. You could easily spend a few hours there.

You need to think about what you're wanting/willing to spend. An on-site spa will probably limit you to large hotels. "Nice views" would narrow your options even further (and drive up the rates). ...
