My stay at Novotel La Rochelle Centre was pleasant overall. The gardens and quiet pool deck were highlights, providing a lovely escape close to the busy port. The room was comfortable, although I did find the air conditioning lacking, making it a bit too humid for my liking. The breakfast had plenty of options, but the coffee could have been improved. Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, it was a nice getaway.

My stay at Novotel La Rochelle Centre was pretty solid overall. The spacious twin room and free parking were major perks, but there were a few irritations too. The bed sheets could've fit better, and I heard noises from the upstairs room, but the staff handled these issues quickly. The location was excellent, a nice walk through the park to the port area, making it easy to explore.
