You have great breakfast here, complementary wine & snacks in the evening (Globalist Members). Metro station is connected to hotel and gets you anywhere in Paris. Yes, rooms are small but how much time are you really spending in room when visiting Paris? Most of the Europe rooms size tend to be smaller. If you don't have extra load of points to splurge on PHV than HR Paris is a great option for 15k points in Paris.
I know the reviews on this thread are somewhat moderate, but on Hyatt's website and others there is a host of bad reviews -- again though, seems mostly construction related which shouldn't a problem next year anyways. I always just like to have an assurance that things are on the up and up. I am not comparing this Hyatt to others in Paris (which are a bit beyond my means, whether in points or as cash) as much as this compared to a trip to the cat 4s GH Berlin or HR Amsterdam, both cities I've been to just brief enough to know I want to go back. I'll have globalist (lite) next year, tens of thousands of points to burn, and time to travel in the summer, and I look forward to using it all somehow.
I am looking at hopefully doing a free cat1-4 certificate from the Chase card, and then probably the 7500 pts+100 a night rate for the rest -- it makes a stay in Paris quite affordable. And the small room size doesn't bother me at all because the kid hopefully won't be coming along
