“Stunning, modern design. Prompt service. Comfortable place to stay. Great location.”

“Read this before booking! The hotel is in an excellent location, just a few minute walk from the Eiffel tower and good restaurants. We reserved the Eiffel tower suite. The room was beautiful (room 211 is the only room with a balcony). Upon checking in, I had to sign a form that stated that I would not move the bed. First time I have ever heard that. The shower, tub, and sinks are separate from the toilet. The shower is a rain shower and it has a handheld sprayer. The toilet has it's own little room with a small sink in it. It also has floor to ceiling opening windows, so if you want your privacy, be sure to close the curtains. All the floor to ceiling windows open, lots of closet space is available as well. There is a mini-fridge stocked with drinks and candy. Our fridge was pretty dirty and was leaking water. The staff there when we checked in were very nice and friendly. They even went out of their way to send up a nice surprise celebrating my son's birthday. We booked this room specifically because on the website it stated that you could see the Eiffel Tower from the room. We looked at many other Marriotts in Paris that had more amenities, but my son was so excited to be able to see the Eiffel tower from the room. Well, yes, you can, EXCEPT, there is a huge construction barrier blocking more than 50% of the view of the Eiffel tower. When the gentleman came to deliver my son's bday surprise I asked him about that. He said it has been like that for over a year and it would be a while until it is moved. I was infuriated! After seeing some of the photos posted with the reviews, with the view being blocked, we had inquired with the hotel and they stated that there was nothing blocking the view. We were gone all day most days, but each time we entered or left the hotel, we were not acknowledged, no hello or goodbye, not even a glance up from the desk. The lobby is tiny so there is no way that they didn't see us. The breakfast that is included is a basket full of croissants and bread, yogurt and juice. If you have to pay for that, it is 30 euros a person. The waitress was very unfriendly. We stayed for 3 nights, after the first morning, we never went back. On the morning when we were leaving, we sat in the lobby, literally 5 feet from the front desk, after being there about 10 minutes we were finally acknowledged and the woman at the front desk asked if we wanted to check out. We settled the bill and then I told her that we were upset about the view being blocked and that I think that type of information should be clearly posted on the website as we would have chosen another hotel. She asked me "you couldn't see the Eiffel Tower?" She acted surprised. I told her the view was blocked. She said she would tell Management. I'm sorry, there is no way that this was the first complaint, the website clearly advertises the guaranteed view. If there is going to be a long term obstruction, that information should be posted. We didn't visit the pool. The hotel hallway and elevator are very small. If the view hadn't been blocked and the staff would have been more friendly, I would probably rate this hotel as a 4.”
