The hotel was quaint and beautiful. The room and bathroom were nice. It was lovely.
The absolutely most amazing part of our stay was working with the staff! They were, frankly, the best ever at any hotel I have stayed in -- ever, anywhere, anytime! This is NOT an exaggeration.
They wrote down their names for me, and I'm really upset that I misplaced them. I really wanted to give them credit personally.
Anyway, the daytime concierge was phenomenal. Here is what he did: The first day, we missed our Seine River dinner cruise because streets were closed by Olympics bicycling, and we missed the cruise. I also couldn't contact the company because I did not have cell coverage. The concierge volunteered to call them for me, and spent time haggling with the company on either giving us a refund or allowing us to reschedule. His persistence paid off because we were able to reschedule for our last night in Paris with a minimal charge for changing. He was our hero!
Then, on our last day in Paris, I fell and injured my right knee and wrist. The night concierge insisted on allowing her to call United Airlines (this is TORTURE to call an airline, lemme tell you!). She worked through the night to set up a wheelchair in the three airports I'd be using on my way home -- Paris, Newark and Chicago O'Hare. I got the wheelchair, and the trip home was made so, so much easier. I owe a huge debt of thanks. I left a 50 euro tip for them, but I think that is still insufficient for their amazing help!
