This hotel was great! We came from the US and we picked this hotel because it was in the Hilton family (but not wholly Hilton yet) but we got points for staying and it was easy to book. It was the perfect French hotel. The staff was wonderful and super friendly. The lobby was big and cozy. We had arrived super early in the morning and had to wait for our room and they had no problem with me laying on the couch and falling asleep. I loved the staircases, all in Marble. Our room was gigantic and gorgeous. They have so many options for rooms so if you pick a small room, of course you'll get a small room. Our bathroom was modern and gorgeous and everything was super clean. The bed was super comfortable too. Yes the carpets in the hallways were a little shabby but they are undergoing a reno so I understand why they aren't really tending to them much. But to me it was part of the old French hotel charm. Our room was nothing but wonderful. I also was so impressed how you never saw the cleaning person until she came down to ask in the afternoon, if you needed anything else. They also turned down the bed every evening. You never saw "cleaning" carts hanging out in the hallways which I thought was really classy. And the bathroom towels were huge! You don't see that in America.
We loved the little cozy bar. The breakfast was ok, nothing super but I think it's because we are used to American breakfasts. It was more Frenchy than we are used to. We ate there all but one morning though and was enough to keep us full. The coffee was always good.
You can not beat the location! It was such a great hotel literally within waking distance of EVERYTHING. There were great little cafes just down the block but then walk no more than a mile any direction and everything is at your finger tips. Literally.
We thought this hotel was great and we highly recommend it.
