was given an upgrade to a family room with a small balcony big enough for a chair with an eagle eye view of bustling rue de rivoli.red elephants and tigers cavorted across the walls ,not to mention beautiful blue peacocks. no I am not alcoholic or a pothead! absolutely loved my room.reception were very nice .was offered a cup of coffee to make up for a bit of a problem finding the hotel. to future guests tho hotel is right on rivoli the street numbers are not in sequence i would give the street name but street maps no longer list streets! but look around a bit there are several outdoor cafes around the corner. room clean bed comfy. if you are boring and love bland hotels keep searching!
