Sure Hotel by Best Western Rochefort-Sur-Mer
Comfortable no nonsense hotel/motel perfect for road trip overnighter. Comfortable bed with decent shower and air con. Breakfast was good. Restaurant was closed for August for cleaning - not sure if this applies every August. Very little in the way of habitation around the hotel - 5 minute drive ...

Hôtel Kyriad La Rochelle Centre Ville
From start to finish the stay was great. We arrived early on our bikes and they allowed us early access, and we could store the bikes safely. The room was spotlessly clean, super comfy, and whisper quiet. It’s a 10 minute walk to the old town.

Hôtel Les Brises
Excellent hotel and location, but desperately needs air conditioning installation in the bedroom. Temperature was only mid twenties but too hot at night even with a fan in the room.

B&B HOTEL LA ROCHELLE Beaulieu Puilboreau
The parking was safe. We had to change rooms due to there being bodily hair and dirt on the shower which had clearly not been cleaned. Very disappointing. The bathroom also smelled of urine.
