This was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the location in the center of the Marais is pretty perfect. The bathroom and my sheets were very clean. Everything else in the building seemed shabby and stained--both walls and carpets. No elevator, btw, and the stairs are steep and slanted. The place simply needs a major (I am sure it would be very expensive) refresh.
I felt rescued by this hotel though, as I was there during the recent major heat wave and they have a split duct ac unit in the rooms. That was worth everything. I was grateful to have found my way there. would I stay there again? Probably not but in a pinch, I would not hesitate.
