Golden Tulip Marseille Euromed
The only thing is that they say they have parking, and it doesn't belong to them. It belongs to a third party and you have to pay about 20 euros per day plus tax and walk about a block with your suitcaises to the hotel. But the hotel is very beautiful and modern and has excellent service.

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.
