Did a search on transit hotels, didn't find anything...

Due to the MH cutbacks, Mrs. TrayflowInUK's daytime F-class flight from KUL-MAN has been replaced with:

3 MH 130 C 1MAY AKLKUL 1250-1 2005-1
4 MH 20 C 1MAY KULCDG 2330-1 0620-2
5 AF 2268 C 2MAY CDGMAN 1320-2 1350-2

So... as she is originating in New Zealand, she is going to be DEAD tired by the time she gets to CDG, and then has SEVEN HOURS' layover.

We were not able to book her via AMS or LHR which both offered smoother connections.

Once she gets back to MAN, she has two hours' driving to get home

(1) Is there a transit hotel she could crash in for a while? What about shower options, etc.?

(2) There is an earlier flight CDG-MAN leaving around 7:40 am... she's on an NW award ticket. Is there any chance whatsoever of her getting on this and avoiding the long CDG layover?

Neither of us have ever transited CDG.
