Shame, FS really does seem like the best option, but 3rd night free at the Pen/MO is just to big to pass up on.
callmedtop, I wouldn't worry too much about the location, as it's not a bad location per se. The Pen is just less conveniently located than most of the other palace hotels. If you walk out of the FS, Bristol, MO or Ritz, you're immediately in the middle of everything. If you walk out of the Pen, you're 300-400 meters away from everything. Besides, Uber works really well in Paris so it's not that big of an issue. Enjoy!
