"Great hotel. Quiet hotel outside the main parts but is an advantage. Near to town and beach through park. Didn't have breakfast but room was spotless and clean. Don't pay for parking as there's nearby side roads that you can park if you travel by car. There's a Carefore mini supermarket across the road if you want to get any drinks or snacks etc. There's no restaraunts near the hotel but you would normally go into the main town anyway to eat. La Rochelle is a beautiful fantastic place to go to and see. Hotel staff were young and friendly and speak good English. Would go again."
