Hotel Paris - Frankfurt/Main, Germany 

This hotel was O.K. for the price, but I would pay a little more & stay somewhere else. I laughed when I saw the room. There were 3 single beds. No phone. Difficult to figure out the TV. Couldn't figure it out 'til the next morning. Left over soap in the shower & someone's half used shampoo bottle. Couldn't find anywere to turn up the heat & the room was cold. Duvets on the bed. Pancake flat pillow. I stayed one night in Dec. of '07. The hotel website had a rate of something like 70 euro. I got a deal on Orbitiz for something like 40 euros. The hotels around the airport seemed expensive. I arrived late & left rather early. The one reasonable priced hotel near the airport, I cancelled because of poor trip advisor reviews. Past customers said the the airport shuttle was iffy & one could get stuck paying an expensive cab to that hotel. This hotel offered breakfast. They were out of hard boiled eggs in the morning. Usual rolls w/ jam, coffee or tea. For the price, of course it was worth it, & better than staying at the airport, which I wouldn't do. And, better than paying exorbant airport hotel prices. I had a nice gentlemen help me figure out the train. He was actually going to the downtown train station & switching there, so he rode w/ me & helped me find my way. At the train station, I went into a store & asked for additional help. Without all the help, figuring out the train would have been stressful for me. It is 3.60 euro 1-way to ride the train directly from the airport to the downtown station. The train station is supposed to be in the red light district, full of drugs & prostitutes. I didn't see this, but I did see one lady drinking alcohol in the open that was unsavory. At the train station, I walked up the stairs, turned right out the door, turned right on the street, & walked to the end of the block, & turned left. The hotel is a minute-ish walk. There looked to be a nice pub around the block. And you could walk down to the river & to old town Frankfurt where there were apple wine taverns, etc. The location is good. The towels were threadbare & worn. It was clean. Not sure about the left over soap & shampoo bottle though? I still think I would pay a little more & stay somewhere nicer. It didn't look like the website. I had to cancel w/ Orbitz on a return stay as I had to shorten my trip & had no problems w/ the cancellation. No cancellation fee & no problems w/ the hotel. The front desk clerk was nice. The breakfast women did not seem friendly.
