This is a very traditional, mid-range hotel in downtown Paris. I selected this hotel based on what would have been an exceptionally good value on the "junior suite." Unfortunately, there was an error and someone else ended up with the suite. The hotel staff did let me know about this ahead of time, and they took a lot of steps to mke up for the downgrade in room, but in the end we were in a much smaller room than I had expected or wanted.
The positives: The hotel is convenient to major tourist sites and shopping, but was still pretty quiet at night. The bed was comfortable. The staff are friendly and try to be helpful.
The negatives: I feel like security is very lax. The hotel uses a very old-school system for managing physical keys. You ask for a particular room number at the front desk and they hand it over, but without any steps to make sure that they are giving the key to the right person. The shower was very difficult to use without making a lot of mess in the bathroom. Most rooms are cramped, with few places to put clothes or luggage.
