New Hôtel Vieux-Port is the small 4-star a step from the harbour. It has 48 rooms, eight of them family rooms, a lift and air conditioning, about 4.9 road miles from MPCT by our routing.
The listing names no restaurant or bar, so we don't count one. Breakfast is €7 to €14 (about US$8–16), a range rather than a price, and parking is only "nearby".
Everything here is the tourist office's, not the hotel's own site, which we didn't read.
Book it for a family room near the water, and phone about parking first.
