Ibis Marseille Centre Gare Saint Charles
I like the newish blackout curtains on the window. Reception provided me with two extra pillows. The updated menu at the restaurant has wider range of food altho the service is patchy.

Mercure Marseille Centre Vieux Port
L’hôtel est un peu vieillot, et le quartier… plutôt très populaire et même parfois inquiétant. L’accès au parking…difficile. Pour autant, chambres propres et confortables, personnel gentil et avenant, super cocktails et bon snacking au bar.
