"When I read a review, I discount people’s feelings and illogical statements like: our room in Paris is small or expensive. If you are going to Paris, expect both. Our stay was one week and we are not fussy travelers.
What I appreciate is information that is based on facts, and reviews that present the positive along with the negatives. That is what I am going to offer my readers.
Let’s start with some positives. The coffee program is top notch with two automated machines that turn out delicious coffee, and the 19 euro breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The location is excellent and walkable and I would like to emphasize my pleasure of having a well appointed in-room kitchenette; this gave us some autonomy from eating out every meal.
Now the negatives along with pictures to make this a factual assessment. While the lobby is bright, clean, and well maintained, the rooms and other areas are not. Our room had what looked like a bleach spill on carpeting that is long overdue for replacement, and unsightly trim. The walls were marred and needed paint. The gym was tiny, equipment was out of commission, and had been for quite some time based on previous reviews. The staircase pics are embarrassing.
The management and ownership shoulder the blame. Walk your property and make repairs! Sample your rooms for condition. Cleaning and paint are not capital expenditures, it’s maintenance. At best, you are a 3-star facility. You can do better and you should."
