Holiday Inn Paris Saint Germain des Pres - Paris, France 

My Worst Holiday Inn Experience EVER
Posted: Wed, Apr 01 2009
under massive remodeling featuring jackhammer noises as early as 8am... no remodeling mentioned in ONline travel website descriptions. hole in (filthy, coffee stained, skuffed) wall (I have pictures) demolition/remodeling supplies in lobby (I have pictures) unable to manage a continental breakfast despite it costing 24$/us per person leaking, moldy shower/tub this is a Holiday Inn, front desk staff should speak english... but they tried to pull the "I don't speak english" on me... I got them... I speak French... but I saw many frustrated visitors who chose a H.I. so they WOULD have english speaking front desk staff that weren't so lucky. don't stay there.

A Very Good Experience!

Daytime desk personnel were friendly and efficient. Night clerk appeared to have been in training and took a long time to assign us our room, even though we had prepaid the reservation. The room we were assigned had water slowly dripping from the ceiling corner over one bed. I just pulled the bed out to avoid the occasional drip. Breakfast was excellent. Children were free. Hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of subway, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Luxembourg, small markets, antique shops, restaurants, and other specialty shops. Airport shuttle needs to be reserved 24 hour in advance. We didn't realize that so we reached the hotel via the Blue train to Chatelet and then the subway to St. Germain des Pres. We walked 6-8 blocks down Rue de Rennes to Rue de Vaugirard. Cost was about 15 Euros rather than 75 Euros for a cab.

Room was clean, but worn. Walpaper pealing, simple funishings, room was small, bathroom good size but tile broken in places, bathtub very hard to get into and ackward shower. Asked for a non-smoking room and got it, had to call long distance to request. Safe in room didn't work, asked them to fix it everyday and they never did. Had to put jewlery and passports in the safe at the front desk-pain! Staff was helpful and friendly. Don't get the breakfast-powdered eggs, and very simple fare for 18 euros each ($27 dollars U.S.)!!! Lots of reasonable delicious pastry shops within walking distance where you can get quiche and pastries for 6 euros for 2 people.
