Esprit de France Louvre - Place Vendome hotels in Paris, France

I chose the hotel primarily for the location, which cannot be beat. The center of everything. The immediate neighborhood has many high-end fashion shops and restaurants. But a short walk in almost any direction gets you to less expensive dining options. The hotel staff was very good and accommodating to our needs, traveling with a one and six year old. We had a crib and the couch in our room open and ready for us. They we also very helpful with general questions about the city and where to go for necessities, etc. Breakfast was good. An nice assortment of based pastries, cereal, bacon and eggs, cheeses and breads. My only critique would be on the upkeep of some items. The drains at our bathroom sinks were very slow and for worse as we stayed. The remote battery died. The toilet room also had a faint 'smell' despite being very clean. None of these issues would prevent me from coming back.
