For the most part the Hotel Renoir was just fine for our purposes. Anyone interested in staying there should be mentally prepared for an extremely small room with very little space for baggage or other items that might need to be accessible for use. The main advantage of staying there is the Montparnasse neighborhood and easy access to a multitude of restaurants and shops and three Metro stops only a block or two away. We were guests of the hotel for nine nights (room 21). For the first three or four, the temperature outside was chilly but our room was roasting. No adjustment to the HVAC would make a difference. Our deliverance came from discovering that the window could be opened to let in cool air. For the final five nights, outside temperatures began to climb but we could not get the cooling system to do much of anything. The poor English of employees manning the front desk prevented us from getting the message across that our room temperature could not be adjusted to make it comfortable for most of our stay. Another annoyance was that the toilet seat in the bathroom had become disengaged, so use was difficult and uncomfortable. The bathroom, in general, was fine and up to date, but a few more towels delivered daily would have been a nice bonus. For some reason, surfaces in the bathroom had been protected with strips of hard clear plastic. Hands and feet were repeatedly cut by sharp points on these strips. Took only coffee and tea. Breakfast each day at Odessa, nearby.
