Great place to stay. Offered an upgrade for an apartment but kept original reservation due to convenience and more comfortable accommodations. Restaurant was good but only had breakfast and very reasonable. Underground parking very convenient as it is difficult finding overnight street parking.

The hotel and staff were lovely and the breakfast was exceptional. Would be happy to stay here again. The location was great for walking into the Latin Quarter with plenty of bars and restaurants. There was underground parking available which was a bit congested when we arrived but the staff shuffled the car around for us when needed. Fab hotel!
