Great location and very comfortable
Pros:

Stayed for 2 nights as a family with a dog. Amazing staff who can not do enough for you. Lovely outside pool, which gets the sun most of the day. It does get busy and at times limited availability of loungers. Hotel provide free pool towels.
Ate at restaurant, basic menu, but great burgers, and have themed nights such as paella, bbq, moules et frites.
Didn't have breakfast as only 15 minutes walk to port, where you can get coffee and croissants for around 8 euros. Hotel located right next to a beautiful park, great for dog walking. Park not lit at night though, so didn't venture through it when dark. Ample outdoor parking, very secure.
Stayed in family room with pull out sofa bed. Not much space when beds down, but easy to put up during day. Air conditioning worked well, and water fountains on every floor. Comfy beds. Separate toilet and shower room which was great.
Games room for kids and plenty space to chill inside and out by restaurant.
Can't fault this hotel, a great location to visit la rochelle, especially if travelling with a dog.

Novotels toujours bien appréciés
Pros:

Super bien situé, proche du centre de La Rochelle. Parking privé et sécurisé. Personnel sympathique. Hôtel bien décoré, propre et avec piscine. Très bon petit déjeuner. Possibilité de manger sur place le soir puisqu'il y a un restaurant. Belle chambre spacieuse avec air conditionné et bonne literie. Nous ne sommes jamais déçus des Novotels.

Cons:

Tout était bien.

Lovely place to visit with lots of restaurants within a short walk.
Pros:

Great location, good breakfast and very friendly pleasant staff

Cons:

5 sunbeds at the pool. It’s only a small area and not a hotel you would book to lie at the pool all day anyway but it can be a bit awkward.
