  The strength of this hotel is the location. You can walk to three metro stops and the Louvre within 3 to 10 minutes. The hotel's on a quiet street and near great cafes. Our bedroom was adequate: spotless, but a bit worn. The bathroom fixtures are new, but the paint on our bathroom door was peeling. The front desk is the downside. Very unfriendly, almost surly in attitude. Also, the clerks refused to cash my Euro-based travelers' checks. One clerk told me there were no banks in the neighborhood and I'd have to go to local money exchange bureau, which I did, at the cost of a 10% commission. I turned around and directly across the St. Germain des Pres was a bank. Very frustrating. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel because the dining room is in the former wine cellar (a.k.a., the basement.) and it seemed expensive. Better to go around the corner to the patisseries and brasseries for wonderful pastries and omelettes and watch Parisians walk by.
