...which in Paris, is not surprisingly much less than what you would get elsewhere....OK, so here's the deal with this one: it was so hard to find that metro employees and cabbies alike didn't recognize the address. The overall neighborbood was not bad, it's just that the hotel is so far from the sights and is very well hidden. The actual hotel has some novel ideas and bright spots, including a fantastic breakfast as well as coffee and tea throughout the day (that you have to brew yourself) and complimentary internet access (in Europe, they would charge you to breathe if they could). But the good points of it end there: beyond that you'll have to deal with staff that is mediocre at best (Melinda was good, and it ends there), an extraordinarily cramped bathroom (good thing I was able to walk off all of the lbs), and generally speaking, very little value for what you pay for. Worst of all, I had to convince and demonstrate to the evening front desk clerk that I had paid in full for my rooms prior to arriving and in French, no less, because his English was about as good as my French...in any event, only stay here if you're ready to walk, deal with the Metro and don't mind being far away from the sights.
