Paris CDG hotel for 21 hour layover
I have a 21 hour layover on a skymiles award ticket while transiting through Paris , and am looking for a hotel, not very expensive, but which is near to the airport, and has free shuttle to airport. I am also looking for a quick trip to Paris so a hotel near to local train station would also be helpful. I am new to Paris and although I have transited through CDG many times, never left the airport. Anybody who have stayed in an airport hotel or near the airport in Paris, could you pls provide suggestions.
Any advise/suggestions is appreciated.

Paris Hotel
I had a similar situation earlier this year with a 21 hour layover.
We chose to head into town (train) and stayed at Hotel Cadran (99E). I started a post with a lengthy list of quality Paris hotels under 99E as there were several to consider. Hotel Cadran was on a nice side street near Eiffel and would definately go back, if that helps.
Go into town . . . easy via train and a MUST do!

For a party of 4, it would've cost at least 200 euros plus tax to stay in Paris. Decided to stay at CDG, tried Priceline a week before the trip, and got the (4-star class) Marriott for $75 USD for 1 room w/ 2 doubles. Very nice hotel and we fit comfortably in the room.
Free shared airport shuttle to the hotel. The taxis to/from Paris cost a bit more than the suburban train/Metro combo, but were very convenient and much faster since we had limited time.
Good luck.

We had a similar layover. Do NOT limit yourself to the airport. Check out the AirFrance Bus into Paris. It's cheap and simple and centrally located and you can then enjoy Paris for the night.

Don't stay at CDG if your flight out is after 11 am. It's not about the money, which if you plan carefully is not that different), it's about seeing a magical city for an evening.
Staying at CDG rather than In Paris is like staying at Newark rather than New York City, except there's more to do at CDG than EWR.
And I would read up on using Priceline at CDG as there have been reports of at least one "airport" hotel in the CDG region that doesn't have shuttles to the airport and is a long cab ride away.

There are many, many posts in the France forum on the 4 major ways to get into the city from CDG (Air France bus, Roissybus, RER B train, cab). Do a search, read up and come back with some detailed questions.

It's consistently one of the most expensive places at CDG.

Air France Bus
The Air France Bus will drop you off at the Arc de Triomphe, and is less than 30 Euros if you buy a R/T.
Hotwire has some good Paris city hotel deals, if you're not comfortable with bidding on Priceline.
If you decide to stay near the airport, Hotwire and Priceline are consistently the lowest priced.

On Hotwire, its a bit easier to identify the hotel, and it shows icons for hotel features, so you will see an icon for a shuttle if provided. By cross referencing on betterbidding.com, you can have a pretty good idea of the hotel and 4* tend to be fairly reasonable.
