Thanks
Hotel website quotes one of the restaurants as 06:00 - 01:00, but doesn’t quote any specific hours for breakfast.
Also no mention of exec lounge hours.

Had a recent one night stay. As a Diamond was upgraded from a King to a King Executive Plus Newly Renovated (yes, that is a mouthful). The room was quite large to the point it could have used some more furniture, although what was there was fine. Bizarre that a newly renovated room would have only one USB port, which was in the small alarm clock. The bathroom was renovated with a separate shower and tub. The only problem with the room was the world's smallest sofabed mattress. My son is less than five and a half feet tall and he had trouble fitting on it.
The lounge was mostly small sandwiches and some pizza bites. Very basic red and white wines. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant is not bad, but it is not luxurious by any means. Everything is indeed self-serve with somewhat overmatched staff not really keeping up with clearing tables even though it was not that busy.
Checking in and out went quite well and the shuttle drops you at the top level in the middle of Terminal 2, above the rail tracks.
While this is definitely not a location for "seeing" Paris, it was fine for what we wanted before we boarded our flight home. I thought we received appropriate value for the 93 euro rate that we paid, especially since the Sheraton was charging almost three times that for the night we stayed.

Day room
Nice way to relax on a long layover. Only 70euro for 9a-6p use of your own room with own bath plus gym/pool/EL, which sure beats any other alternative imo (huge queue for the bus to the city, 50euro for AF lounge which of course has no private bed or pool).
Pool is pretty small, smaller than you'd think from the website. Could see Concorde from the hotel. Room clean and relaxing with separate tub/shower. Only Hilton I can think of besides Back Bay Hilton that has EL on lobby floor. EL was locked outside of service hours for some reason and had to get front desk to open it. Beverages available at all times. Evening spread decent. Best they could do for late check-out was an hour extension (Diamond status, checked in at noon), but they allowed use of EL after checkout.

Just back from staying a few days there last week. The metro is right next to the hotel as well as a bus station which we used to take a bus to a large shopping mall nearby for some necessities. The metro quite good for the city centre as the line takes you through Gare de Nord & Notre Dame, takes around 45 minutes to an hour. It also has a stop for the Stade de France, might be handy for a sporting event.
Upgraded to a King Executive Plus Newly Renovated room also as the other Dave, was surprised as I was there for 5 nights.
Couple of things there is Fussball next to the elevators, which is free & my daughter loved (you have to pay for the pool table). There is also always flavoured water at the reception which was excellent.
Pool ok size, sauna hot, gym adequate - there are no lockers in the changing rooms so don't leave any valuables.
Exec lounge is quite large, happy hour is wee bit disappointing in comparison to other lounges I have been recently although it was fine for me - Beer Heineken, wine, sandwiches & a sort of pizza thing. They had cakes the only afternoon I was there.
I'm sure I'll be back sometime.

We stayed at this property twice, on both of our last two trips to Paris, spending our final day in the city and then heading to the airport after dark. Once we took the RER, another time we grabbed a cab. I must be getting older; the cab was just so much easier then schlepping our bags on and off the metro and RER, although I love taking the RER into the city on arriving.
Our first trip we overnighted in the city and went to the airport the morning of the departure. While I get the "last night in Paris" thing, I was really happy with the decision to move to the airport. It made for a much more relaxed morning of departure. As always, YMMV.
I'd stay here again the next trip.

Lots of negative reviews on this thread but is this place tolerable for a quick overnight?
Would be flying in on AF (landing around 830pm) and leaving the next day on DL (CDG - RDU) around 11am (but with STE+ can eat in the lounge if Hilton food is poor) so should be T2 only. No interest in going into Paris purely want a decent place to sleep and maybe something for dinner if I don't get it en route.
The CDG - RDU flight is my preferred way home but I'd rather fly into CDG late night and sleep in a bit vs. having to take a 6am to CDG in order to make the CDG - RDU flight and will be coming from VIE so there's no other one-stop option (on SkyTeam) back to RDU.
Other option is Hyatt CDG -- unfortunately the Sheraton is out of policy at present or I'd just go with that.

It is perfectly fine for an overnight. I stayed here twice in the span of three days for an overnight and had an unremarkable stay each time. What more do you want for an overnight?
