Hôtel La Fabrique

8/10 Good
"Clean. Great location, right on waterfront and five minute walk from train station. Plenty of restaurants, bars, shopping, and coffeehouses very close by. Nice breakfast. Room was spacious with plenty of storage. Minor issues : automatic light switch in hallway was slow to respond, and some rooms have a two inch step up into the room from the hallway. Overall, nice place to stay while visiting La Rochelle."
