Honestly, I booked the place for its free Wireless connection.
That said, the rates were more than reasonable, and the area (just half a kilometer from the La Defense arch and Metro/subway station) was clean, beautiful, and relaxing. Easy to get to downtown Paris, and not even that far away from some sights if you enjoy long walks of an hour or more roundtrip. (Great for runners!)
The two staff members spoke English very well and were very patient with my embarrassing inability to speak French, but let me try a few French phrases.
SInce the apartments in the hotel do have refrigerators, microwaves and tableware/flatware/glassware, I recommend a visit to the supermarket inside the Les Quatre Temps mall, which is on the opposite side of the plaza in front of the great arch from the stairs that lead down to Rue des Lilas d'Espagne and the hotel.
After you're done eating, etc., make sure to empty your trash, wash the dishes, and defrost the fridge before you head out as a courtesy to the staff and to other guests (if you don't, they'll charge you a penalty that costs more than one night's stay)!
All in all, I recommend this place without any hesitation.
