Good value for the money on short notice and near the Louvre (as the name says) and other good restaurants and stores. Staff was very helpful with luggage, combining two reservations into one, and spoke English well. About the only drawback is there is no elevator and we were on the fourth floor (actually the fifth floor, since the room itself had another flight of stairs to the loft-style room). Fortunately, staff carried all our heavy luggage (over 130 pounds total) up to the room and then down again upon departure. We were used to climbing lots of mountains and stairs in the Alps before arrival and were ready for the climbing. If you want to see all of Paris, you must do lots of climbing stairs. Breakfast, lunch and dinner bistros (asian and french) right next door, which were very good. We could not have done better without spending at least twice as much money. We would stay again on another Paris trip.
