6/10 Okay

Disliked: Staff & service
The reviews online rave about the very nice rooms. The reviews and hotel info do not make clear that arriving with a car is very difficult logistically. The hotel boat is moored where there is only a pedestrian footpath. There is no where close by to drop the bags for easy access, many meters from where cars are allowed. There are no actual staff at the location, only virtual staff who cannot help with the luggage drop or movement. You get parking recommendations only after the cancel window has closed and in reality, the two car parks within 10 minute walk are community lots filled by local apartment dwellers. You can wait around for a spot to open but locals scout openings for their friends and not friendly to outsiders waiting. If you have any mobility issues, be aware you may need to carry/pull your suitcases at least 700 kilometers that could include stairs. So getting to La Peniche may require escape room types logic skills to achieve if you are older, have any mobility issues, and arrive by car. We failed and forfeited a nights stay because we could not make it work. In retrospect, plan for a more secure car park further away ( like the Greco Roman Museum lot) and taxi as close as you can to the boat.
