July Column

Hotel really catered to its guests. A/C in the rooms, lots of outlets which was very helpful, and the hotel bar allowed for water, soda, and alcohol to be easily accessible. The staff was so nice and helpful, allowing us to store our luggage and even bringing it right to the room for us before we got back from our adventures. The location was nice, more away from the touristy spots but near a beautiful overlook park and walking distance to train stations. Excited to go back!

This place has no AC, I’m sure that 9 months out of the year this might not be a problem , but during the Summer months, it’s nearly uninhabitable in their rooms. When we first checked in and realized there was no AC, we panicked and called the reception desk, they confirmed there was no AC. I asked if we could cancel and I was willing to pay 50% of our entire stay as a cancellation fee, and leave right there and then. They said no refunds would be possible. The coolest day that week was 93 degrees. We had a great time in Paris, but never a relief in sight after long days, only a hot, hot room waiting for us. We took cold showers before bed and the women would leave their hair wet to make the night bearable. I probably would have given this property 5 stars if they had AC. How can any hotel that has hot Summers not have this? This should be a requirement before websites like Expedia even show their listing. Lesson learned , I will Always look at amenities more closely just to be sure, no longer will I assume.
