Hôtel la Comtesse

Worst thanksgiving weekend experience ever in my life courtesy of this hotel. Booked a three-night stay for two adults. My wife invited her 11-year old niece last minute. Room had a queen bed with plenty of space. I was willing to pay a surcharge but the hotel declined. They instead offered me another room for one night for an extra 600 euros and to find another hotel for the next two nights as they were sold out. I checked in after a 9-hour flight from Miami and rushed out to a dinner reservation we had at the Eiffel Tower. After a lovely dining experience and strolling through the streets of Paris, we came back to the hotel around midnight to find out that we were locked out of the room! The most humiliating experience ever a hotel has done to me. I was humiliated in front of my wife and her niece, who was traveling to Europe the first time ever. I asked for the manager and I was told it was too late. They would not let me in my room at all until I showed another Hôtel reservation. The situation was disclosed to hotel management when we checked in. The fact that they checked us in under those circumstances accounts by acceptance of the terms by the hotel;however, they behaved this way to te-sell the room for a higher rate and keep a one night from us even though we were in the room for less than 1 hour! Worst hotel experience ever and I have travelled around Europe and US quite a bit!!!

The front desk staff are polite and friendly. I'm so impressed by how the room styles and love how it was spotless. I really appreciate how the maid cleans the room. The amenities are great. They provide us with very good toiletries, slippers, and a coffee maker. I love how they have a minibar too. The hotel is located in a great location that is close to many landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower, the Rodin Museum, Hôtel des Invalides etc. I'm surprised at how quiet and peaceful the hotel at night was. For the views, we stayed in the classic Baronne Double Room with the Eiffel Tower sides. Our room was on the second floor; there were some parts of the Eiffel Tower that were obscured by the trees. We stayed there at the end of October. In the morning, the Eiffel was covered by fog, but we still enjoyed the Eiffel light at night. To be honest, there were plenty of Eiffel Tower spots in Paris that were better than the hotel, but I don't regret staying here.
