Hotels on the Lake in Marais

Great stay, very clean and nice staff! Great area as well

No elevator...

Misleading descriptions and photos makes this average to below average hotel in the favorable La Marais area of Paris to appear to be something that it is not. If you are just looking for a bed and a place to store your luggage, then you might be OK. If, however, you are looking for any hint of luxury or amenities, this is NOT your best choice. Unfortunately, we passed many other options throughout our travels in this area that would have been far more attractive for the same price. I think this was a case of previous travelers being kind and Expedia and the hotel itself presenting the hotel in a way that exaggerated reality. The best I can say about our experience is that the staff did their best to make a dingy and tired property seem inviting, but in the end, the experience fell well short of what you might expect for $300/per night. And was about more than the typical tiny rooms. From the front of the hotel, to the lobby area, to the cargo-style elevator, to the worn decor, it was just an overall disappointment given the marketing hype that sold us on the hotel. Thankfully, the rest of our activities in Paris were wonderful and we only used the hotel as storage and a place to rest. So, we turned what could have been a real letdown into something we could manage. In summary, if you have other options in the price category, look elsewhere than this hotel. And cross reference any marketing you see across multiple sites to get a consensus of opinion on your selection!
