Le Saint Gregoire - Paris, France     

Stayed in hotel for a too short time in Paris at the end of our trip. We know the area and were put off by it being just across the street from the Holiday Inn with has it's cheesy green sign outside. We got a good deal from the internet website. The room was ready when we arrived early. Lobby OK, filled with luggage and packages when we arrived and sofas looked worn. Room nicely decorated, quite large, nice bathroom size, very clean and neat -looking. Husband complained that the bed was too hard. For a short stay, problem with elevator meant we had to pack up and they moved us to the first floor...not attractive view of Holiday Inn across the street. Management very nice and helpful. Breakfast included but was OK, nothing great. Lovely breakfast room in the vaulted basement. Their recommendation for Le Petite Lutetia was horrible; worst meal we have ever had in Paris. Sorry we didn't stay on the Right Bank or near the Pantheon....loads of tourists and very hard to get any taxis. Hard for me to walk up and down stairs to get to the Metro.

We returned for the seventh time last week and will be booking a future visit by weeks end A small hotel in the sixth central to most sites and within walking distance of great shops and restaurantsThe hotel offers a continental breakfast and at extra charge delivered to your room Tea,drinks etc are available in small lobby area-pricey but this is Paris Rooms are simple and are not large by North American standards-Bathtubs with hand held shower head are the standard Personnel at the front desk are very bright and helpful-happy to make reservations at restaurants and book taxis We give them a list of our top three restaurant choices as we head out for the day and ask them to secure a reservation We have found the staff to be particularly well informed re thelatest in galleries They are replacing the elevator this summer and are offering special rates to those who enjoy hiking up the stairs We think the hotel offers great value
