I had a 5night stay there in mid September. Rather small room, but usual Paris size and decent breakfast buffet. Lounge was ok and liked the location since imo it's not that far a walk to the major sights and you have the metro right in front of the door, which makes even a day trip to Versailles easy to do.
We saw and passed a bunch of homeless people on our walks to/from the hotel and in the metro station, but the amount didn't really seem different from any other major city. Besides didn't experience even one aggressive one during all that time. Just sitting on the sidewalks begging for money from people passing by. We returned to the hotel between 23:00 and 02:00 several times, never felt unsafe, so at least from my point of view it was a moot point.
