Pavillon Porte de Versailles

It was OK and should improve

This hotel is located directly across the Paris Expo and within a block of the Tram, Bus and Train stops. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Not much of a view from the room, if you are in need of one. The rooms, like many local hotels, are not very roomy. The bathroom door will not open fully since it hits the bed. No A/C may be a problem if you are there for the summer. They do provide one standup fan, the vertical types. This does not seem to provide much airflow. Since I was there furint May it was not a major problem, however I am sure that in the hot summer days it would be much warmer. The best you can say about the bed is that it is flat. Don't expect plush, it may not be the type for people who have back problems, and it may be uncomfortable fot those without. Hopefully your luggage will fit in the elevator. I was able to squeeze my to rolling bags and placed my back-pack on top to allow room for myself. More bags would have required additional trips. The weekly transportation pass was a good deal to travel the city via train, bus, or tram. One rate for all your trips all week long. You can get the ticket at the tram station's ticket vending machine. They do offer wi-fi Internet access (you have to buy). However, it work in the lobby and the lower two floors, which prompted me to move to a lower floor upon arrival. Boingo does work here and you may want to check their rates for Internet access, typpically much lower than most european hot spots, great deal. I used a limo (van) srevice to return to the airport. Granted I was the first pickup and it took about 1 hr to get to the airport including all the stops. This saved me about 1/2 of the taxi fare for the airport, another good deal. I did not have time to check their breakfast deals, I ended up picking up crossaints on the way to work from a local bakery near the office (not by the hotel). The hotel staff was quite pleasant and helpful. In summary for my mixed review, it was a place to stay and I w
