A great overnight stay, perfect for families. Free car parking with plenty of spaces.
Pros:

Very clean and modern hotel with a lovely outdoor pool just 10 mins walking distance to the harbour. Receptionists were all very welcoming with one lady making a phone call for us after having a problem with another booking elsewhere. She was incredibly helpful and patient with us. Breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

On our 14 day road trip around France this was one of the most expensive stops, however, I wouldn’t say it wasn’t worth the money.

Great location and amazing breakfast!
Pros:

Amazing breakfast and great location. Within easy walking distance to the old port.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the pool was closed due to a sanitation issue but the hotel did call me early that day to let us know. It was a pity because we had specifically booked that hotel because it had a pool. However, the rest of the hotel, the location, the staff and breakfast made up for it.

Very nice hotel to stay with kids in La Rochelle
Pros:

Location by the Park which makes it easy to access the town by walk. Really liked the free parking - hard to find in France. Nice play room for kids. Although we didn’t use it the pool looked nice.

Cons:

Room is a tiny bit small for 4 people.

Pros:

L'emplacement.

Cons:

La femme de ménage qui ne nettoie pas la poussière et qui dit que c'est normal 🙃.
Après 6 h de route je désirai un bon café dans la chambre et j'ai été surpris de voir plein de poussière sur la machine à café. 😡
