Mercure Paris La Villette, Paris

We stayed in a suite. The suite was very nice and it was clean, but the hotel offers very minimal services and is located far away from tourist areas. The customers at this hotel seem to be primarily people on bus tours who stay for one night. We stayed for a week and it was not a good choice. There are not posting on the price of anything at all - minibar, breakfast etc. No concierge. People at the desk too busy to help, had limited English, and were not very knowledgeable. The restaurant and bar were closed. I suggest that you look for a hotel in another area of Paris. If this was our first trip to Paris, we would have been completely lost. Thank goodness, we know how to use the metro. We had to rediscover for ourselves how to rent the bikes on the street. We were robbed on this trip. Not sure if that occurred in the hotel or just outside of it. I reported it, but no one in the hotel responded to our report. The robbery is clouding my judgment, but I think I am still being fair in saying that this hotel is not designed to accommodate English speaking people on a vacation.

No AC in hallways, lobby, or bar areas. AC barely cooled in room. Dirty; noisy on street side; had to open windows for air. Breakfast service was inadequate for amount of people being served. One urn of coffee for three tour groups; then would have to wait while they brewed another. Ditto with scrambled eggs. Did not eat any other meals there. Desk staff was okay; concierge was friendlier. No free WiFi. Would not stay there again.

I have been spoiled by staying in either Montpanarsse or St. Germain before so this was a shock. It's just to far out of the main city to be honest. The staff was very nice but I just really disliked the area. Hotel is way too big for my taste as well and if you have issues with smoke, stay away, I am a smoker and even I was choking in the hallways.

I was shocked that Holiday Inn would have guest rooms so dirty. The carpet was so dirty I did not want to take my shoes off.

I LIKE ALL PLACES IN PARIS , SPECIALLY FIVE STARS HOTELS BECAUSE OF THEIR GOOD AND NICE SERVICES .
