This was my first time traveling to Paris where I had to book my own accommodations. As a Marriott member and the fact that this hotel is supposedly a 5 star hotel, I expected to ne staying at a nice hotel. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experiences here.
Immediately when we went to check in, it took a couple of minutes to find someone who would be able to check us in. The layout of the lobby was not functional. Furthermore, I like my privacy. The computers at the front desk were below the counter with a transparent glass over it. Consequently, I could see not only my reservation/information but also other people's information. That is inappropriate and could even be a potential safety risk. Furthermore, some of the benefits that come associated with being a Marriott member (i.e. breakfast) were not included.
The lobby appeared to be under construction. However, after checking in with the receptionist we learned that it was but that was just the style of the artist.
We arrived before our room was not ready. We were able to check in and leave our bags while we went off to explore. After exploring ,we came back and our room was ready and the bags were already in the room. The room was simple, clean and what we needed. The bathroom was a little dated and i wish the glass door extended further. In addition, the toliet didn't flush well. We informed the staff and they said they fixed it but that was not the case.
Unfortunately, there was no gym at the hotel. This was something that I didn't realize when I booked it. As someone that likes to workout, I was disappointed at this. Especially if this is considered a 5 star hotel.
The location was good. In 15 minutes you could walk to many tourist attraction, which was nice.
Overall, I was disappointed with my experiences here. The price I paid did not justify for the experience/amenities.
