Cristal Champs Elysees

This hotel will teach me to wait until the last minute to find a hotel forcing me to settle. The location in the city seemed great but the street was LOUD. Thought the windows were closed, and yes, I double checked them multiple times, I could clearly hear EVERYTHING happening outside the window, from the simple conversations to the people revving their cars down the street all hours of the night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was relatively clean, however the carpets look like they have not been updated (possibly cleaned) in 30 years making me a little concerned. The tiny bathroom with basically a stall'less shower was a bit tricky for the family. If I was staying more then the couple days I was there, I would have regretted it more. On the bright side, my family has a great story about the strange Paris hotel we stayed in, which we now laugh about.
