This hotel is a ways away from Paris and not super close to the train. I would not suggest this hotel for anyone looking to spend a lot of time in Paris. Also, since it isn't a touristy area, I would suggest only staying there if you speak French. We muddled through but people seemed irritated that we didn't speak the language even if they spoke English themselves. The hotel is clean and the beds were okay (one flat pillow, though), but you don't get the same service quality you expect from a US hotel chain. No toiletries other than a soap dispenser in the shower and you pay extra for new towels and such. The road noise was really loud too, so it was hard to sleep.
