The rooms here are a dump. I was given an executive floor room away from the elevator. Outside of the newer TV it was like walking into 2002. I think that was around the last time the room was significantly renovated or updated. It had the furniture and color scheme that I haven't seen domestically for at least 3-4 years now and even back then those hotels were outdated. Furniture scratched and scuffed. No clock. No outlets by the bed. Dated bathroom. Turndown service was provided and included slippers, chocolate, and a bottle of water. No real elite status recognition besides the front desk staff member robotically saying my status level during check-in. As others said, no lounge. This is one of the few Marriotts I've ever stayed at without a lounge. However, you do get free mini-bar drinks (water, Pepsi and beer - no wine) in executive floor rooms. Restaurant breakfast is phenomenal. I also had dinner here. The restaurant is very good for an airport hotel restaurant, let alone any hotel restaurant. White tablecloths, good service, fresh food, and a good wine list. I guess you have to have that in France because the French know their food. If only more Marriotts back home in the US had this restaurant. The gym seemed the only part of the hotel outside the restaurant and lobby that have been renovated. If the guest rooms were from the early 2000s the hallways were from the 1990s. Literally. It was like a time machine. Hotel knows they are outdated. They have a canned response acknowledging room is a dump and that renovations are planned. With all of that, the location is okay if you have a rental car and want to spend a night before or after a road trip in France.

Just as an update: The hotel now has an Executive Lounge on 4th floor, for eligible guests. The lounge is very small and therefore very crowded, but drinks and food offered are nice. It's open 7 days per week, both for breakfast and happy hour.

Anyone know if this lounge is open currently? Considering an overnight here, but don't want to stay there if everything will be closed. Would rather go into the city.

Had a recent stay here, unlikely to stay again
- Lounge is still not open. 750 points offered as compensation.
- No breakfast until 7AM, before then there is a Nespresso machine in the lobby
- Adjusting the heat in the room has no impact on the temperature in the room. Expect ~68F
- Water in the sink and shower are both tepid, wasn't warm enough for me to take a shower
- Shuttle only stops at T2, making the journey to T1 ~30 minutes since you have to take the shuttle then the train
