After staying at a small hotel, it was a welcome change to a larger hotel. The front desk persons were always courteous and bilingual and even though check in was 3 pm, we were in room by 1 pm. Free bottled water if you asked the front desk instead of going out and paying for it and carrying it back and believe me, that is much appreciated. Our other hotel had our little fridge filled with drinks that they charge at inflated prices.
Since it was Easter Sunday, many places were closed including nearby restaurants and the in house restaurant had limited menu items. The room was more spacious than our prior hotel in Paris and clean. I walked the neighborhood and felt safe once I got to survey the area during daylight. I even walked all the way to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica and got to see where Vincent Van Gogh resided part of the time in Paris, thanks to google maps. It was awesome to just walk the distance in a strange land and not feel lost. Lots of walking so have comfortable shoes and proper attire depending on the time of the year and consult the weather forecast to be safe. Public transportation is good and nearby and because of covid and stories of pick pockets, I did not take public transport while at this hotel. Streets are narrow and city traffic, the pandemic and strange signs all point to walking being the best option. We booked for 5 nights and our testing came thru so we managed to get air tickets so we checked out early with no penalties and no hassles.
