This hotel had been recommended by a friend who had been there 13 years ago. According to her, it was a cute boutique hotel with good service. We walked in and were shocked! -- The plaster was worn off the walls, the a/c consisted of an in-room unit that didn't cool well and rattled, the hallways were hot and terribly smokey, the carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years, ....the head-board of the bed was a pillow hanging from a tiny curtain rod bolted to the wall and it looked greasy dirty.... the window opened to the courtyard and rather oily cooking smells were wafting up into our room... the mattress was very basic.
On the plus side, the sheets were clean, although they had holes in them, and the bathroom had been remodeled (although there was no plug for the tub). The street is very fashionable and there are lovely cafes down the street by the Seine, and on the other end at the Champs Elysees.
We checked out after one night but still had to pay for a night we had reserved.
