I enjoyed my stay at Novotel La Rochelle Centre, especially its location near Parc Charruyer, which offered a peaceful retreat from the busy tourist areas. The room was clean and featured comfortable beds, though it felt smaller compared to other Novotels I've experienced. While the breakfast was enjoyable and quite filling, the dining options were limited, and service could be improved based on my interactions with staff. Overall, it was a decent experience, though I think the hotel can do better in a few areas. 🌳😊
