What is your Priority Club status? Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked standard double requested high floor, received same. Front desk specifically mentioned the high floor request, but not sure if that is considered an upgrade.

How are the rooms? Room was not huge, but a good size for an older building in central Paris.

How is the exec. lounge? n/a

What was good and what was bad? Great location, with a 10-15 minute walk to either Opera, Louvre, or Les Halles. The Grand Blvds Metro station is directly outside the front entrance, but closed for the transit strike. Room did not feel cramped, and had a full sized bathroom (with walk in shower, not tub) and the bed was comfortable. Lots of power outlets. Soft close drawers in the dresser/armoire, and a mini bar fridge with extra space for a few bottles of your own water/soda/juice. Friendly and helpful staff. Did not eat breakfast there, but buffet is 18 euros or continental for 9. At check in I was offered a prepaid option of 15 euros for the buffet.

My room faced the Boulevard and looked larger than those opposite based of the floor plan posted, but was kind of noisy during busy times. On the weekend, that can extend into late evening and early morning hours. The shower stall had very low water pressure and the wand did not have an adjustable spray. This being an older building, the hallways are narrow, with low ceilings, and some steps between rooms on the same floor. Wifi slow at times.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Average value, I guess, I liked the location and paid what I consider a reasonable rate (for Paris). I would go back, but not without considering other IHG options in the city.
