My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic with its modern decor and comfortable room, but I did encounter a few minor issues. The location next to the aquarium was a huge plus, allowing easy access to local attractions. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide selection that catered to different dietary needs. On the downside, I found the room size somewhat limiting for a longer stay, and accessing the balcony was quite challenging due to a steep step.

My stay at the Mercure La Rochelle Vieux Port was quite enjoyable, thanks to its fantastic location right by the Old Port. However, I found the room prices a bit on the higher side, especially during the lively music festival. While the vibrant atmosphere was a plus, the bathrooms could use some updates to eliminate lingering odors. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly staff and clean facilities! 🌊✨

I had a pleasant stay at Mercure La Rochelle Vieux Port, where the location was superb and the staff friendly and helpful. However, I noticed that the room I stayed in was quite small, reminiscent of a cabin, which made moving around a bit challenging. Additionally, the breakfast area got a bit crowded, but the variety offered was commendable.
