bristol has great reports of service recovery lately. great posts. re recovery at FS paris, some great reports, some not so great, although some became better without details being shared. (understandably)

virtuoso suggests >
confirmed - jr suite > deluxe jr suite
if available - deluxe jr suite > deluxe suite > saint honore suite

any room # recommendations ?
