As an Ambassador Elite, I've stayed at over a thousand properties over the years. I will have 250 nights just this past year. Hilton is my other brand of stay, and I've had Diamond status for many years. If you are expecting Renaissance Class accomodations for the extremes in what they charge nightly, then you are severely overestimating this property. I would classify it much closer to Marriott Courtyard in its rooms and offerings. We paid close to 600 Euro's for the night we stayed here, and in my estimation, this is closer to a 289 Euro/night accomodation. The rooms were tiny, the bathroom a microcosm comparably. They did not bother to upgrade, and gave some lame excuse that all of the suites were taken. They magically found one after some prodding, but charged us an additional 80 Euro's for a slightly larger room. Definitely not a suite. Check in was exceedingly slow. I was sitting at their makeshift desk for at least 20 minutes, while their computer was acting tempermental. Deception seems to be the MO, here, as nothing was as it should have been, or as stated. As I mentioned, though clean, the rooms are quite small, and certainly not worth 600 Euro's per night. I didn't even have a view outside; my room faced some type of small courtyard. Very dim; very dingy. The bed I had was in disrepair and the mattress sunk low. I sleep on my side, so I dealt with it (only one night, or I'd be in trouble). Definitely not like the good bedding that we are used to in the USA. More akin to sleeping on a park bench with a thick pad underneath you. There is no bar or cocktail lounge, and after a day of sightseeing or shopping, you have to go to a different hotel or establishment to have a glass of Champagne or cocktail to cap off your night. No balconies to sit out on. Although the bathroom was tiny, it did have a soaking tub and a separate stand up shower. The shower was micro, and the shower valve apparatus took up about 25% of the space. Truly cumbersome for their intended purpose. The fun part was when the water temperature went from comfortable to scalding and you had to jump out of the way to avoid getting scalded. Not a great experience. Paris can be a beautiful City with much to see and experience. Although you don't expect to spend most of your time in a hotel, it should also be an intimate part of your overall journey experience. You should find the experience to be both welcoming, and comforting. This property has neither attribute. There are so many beautiful hotels in Central Paris that has similar accommodation nightly rates. Pick ANY OTHER, and you will likely have a very memorable trip to recount in your memories. Travel safe !!
