We stayed two nights. The hotel is rather new and the location is excellent for some of the many sights at the Saint-Nazaire port area, which are within walking distance. Free parking may be found around the hotel, alternatively a very good parking garage is available at EUR 9/day. A number of restaurants and shops are also available near the hotel. Our room was spacious, reasonably clean and with a comfy bed. It was equipped with a/c and a coffee maker. The included breakfast was good and the team members at the front desk did an excellent job. We experienced some minor issues such as a defect soap dispenser on arrival, a missing towel, and no coffee beans on our second day, which is the reason why the rating is less than 5.

A typical Holiday Inn express, relatively small compared to some, just four floors. Clean, well maintained rooms and shower rooms. Reception come bar area as you come in with Breakfast room beyond. Lift to all floors including the underground garage. Breakfast was pretty good, buffet style with a good choice of both hot and cold food available which was constantly kept supplied. The hotel is located in a large square, stroke car park immediately opposite the WWII U-boat pens which now contains the tourist information centre amongst other things. Access was a little confusing initially as you have to find your way into the public car park but don’t worry the first hour is free. The hotel has its own underground parking garage at €9 per day. This is accessed by scanning your room keycard once you have checked in. Be aware that the access is very tight when you get down there. If you are not a very competent driver you might be better off parking in the public car park out front. The hotel was very quiet at nights giving a good nights sleep. There is a supermarket immediately across the car park with everything you might want. For those with limited French, all the reception staff spoke very good English. I would stay again if I return to St - Nazaire.

One night stop over . Well positioned hotel for the submarine pens and historic tours. Close to the small beach area. Hotel is a typical Holiday Inn Express. Clean and functional rooms. Staff were really lovely and helpful. There was a strange air fresher smell in the room which is probably a COVID thing but don’t do it IHG. Fresh air is much nicer which you can get by opening the window.

As part of a Battlefield coach trip we stayed at the Holiday Inn whilst studying the raid on St Nazaire. As locations go we could not have asked for more a literal stone’s throw not only from the submarine pens but also a supermarket and plenty of restaurants. You are also a short walk from where the action took place itself. Despite being so close to amenities the hotel was very quiet and you did not hear anything once in our room. In our room we had a wetroom, which I understand from other guests was the exception not the norm. It would indeed be ideal for someone with mobility issues. There was a good sized comfortable bed and a TV with good selection of channels. It was clean, well fitted out and as mentioned, quiet. Breakfast in the morning was a continental affair with plenty of cold meats, bread and cereals. I don’t believe they do evening meals but with plenty of opportunities in the local area this is not an issue. The staff were friendly and also spoke good English. Very much enjoyed our short stay there.
