Beaugrenelle Tour Eiffel - Paris, France     

Do your research. Not bad, but could do better. Not a great street, but close to metro station (2 blocks), Eiffel tower( 6 blocks through a nice neighborhood), etc. There is a farmer's market twice weekly under the train tracks. Not a major tourist area. Lots of shops and restaurants and bakeries in the area. The actual street is mainly warehouses, an off track betting establishment, and a large construction project across the street. Did not feel real safe walking back to the hotel at midnight, but no actual problems. There is a great restaurant on the next street, Le Volant. This was recommended by the front desk clerk. French food, friendly, excellent cuisine and wine list, not too expensive (91 euro for 2), lots of locals. Room was adequate size. Old, but useable furniture.Satellite TV, but nothing in English-CNN was blocked. Bathroom clean, good linens. Nice continental breakfast downstairs. Soda machine in lobby dispenses Heinecken We arrived at 11:45 AM, but they would not let us check in until 1:30. In summary, not a bad hotel for the price, but with a little research, you could probably do better

The hotel was in a great location - 10 minutes walk to the eiffel tower and 2 minutes walk to the metro station. We got a room on the ground floor - the size was good and the room was very clean. Our room was very hot though - the air conditioning didn't do much, however it did cause a sound like a car was parked outside the window with the engine running. Breakfast was in the basement and average with everything you needed. Would stay here again because of location.
