Staff was very friendly and helpful. I dealt with Oliver at the desk, whose English was much better than my French. Lobby is bright, clean, modern. The... room was a bit out-of-date. I saw it was built in 2004. Seems to have gone through a lot in 8 years. Bed was alright - nothing special. The pillows were thin - next to no padding. I was able to find one in the cabinet with considerably more support. The hotel IS right next to a major thoroughfare, but the noise didn't really bother, and we're not city folk. I've certainly stayed in louder hotels, which were more centrally located, and therefore had more disruptive "street" noise, as opposed to the din of the expressway outside this place. We didn't try the restaurant, but I had a very good espresso one morning. The Porte d'Italie metro stop is the closest. Not a bad walk, and my two kids (6 & 9) handled it with little problem. One thing we ran into, which I suspect is prevalent elsewhere in Paris, was the lack of taxis at the hotel. We could either call for one, which then adds 10 Euros to the cost of the taxt ride, or walk to the metro station, and grab one at the taxi stand. Once we went to the taxi stand, where there were four empty taxis parked with no drivers. So we waited 5 or 10 minutes, and thought we'd be better off calling, when one finally came. On the same major road as the metro stop, there are a number of places to eat and shop, including a very US-style mall within walking distance. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 23, 2012
