If you're visiting Paris, I advise you to stay at ANY hotel but this one. At first, the staff was very nice and friendly, very willing to help a confused American find his way around. I rented a standard room just for myself and left my stuff in it so I could go see a show and meet up with some friends at a bar. The real problems were after I returned. My friends and I were at the bar until about 4 am, and the metros in Paris don't run again until 5 am, so my friends asked me if we could watch TV in my room for a while while they wait for the metro to open again. I thought, why not, what could possibly be the problem with that? When we got to my hotel room, not a single one of the lights worked, not even in the bathroom, I hadn't noticed before because it was daytime, and there was also no WIFI connection at all. My friends I were very tired and drunk and we ended up falling asleep, which is probably much more responsible than kicking my drunk friends out on the street in the middle of the night. In the morning, I tried to take a shower, but the shower doors/drain didn't work properly at all, water spilled all onto the bathroom floor while I showered unaware. I used 3 towels to clean it up. At 830, i woke up my friends and went to check out, and was prepared to ask about the problems I had encountered, when I was met with a very rude employee who SCOLDED me like a CHILD because I had let my friends stay for an extra 3 HOURS. 3 FUCKING HOURS. He went on to say how I only booked the room for myself and that it was extremely disrespectful to let them stay, and would not listen to me when I tried to explain what had actually happened, it was in fact his conduct that was really disrespectful in this situation. They ended up charging me $30 more because of this, which is absolute bullshit, but at least if they would have kindly and nicely explained to me their policy and why I deserved to be fined, like actual fucking decent hotel employees, I would have gladly paid the fine with a smile. But the arrogant and blatant disrespect for me as a guest was what was prominent in the situation. I chose this hotel because Best Western are good hotels in America and it was familiar, I have never had a problem like this before, and now I extremely regret my decision to stay there. If you are an American visiting Paris, please don't stay at a Best Western. Treat yourself and stay somewhere nice where they won't treat you like a fucking toddler and get their feelings hurt when you break a rule that you didn't even know existed. FUCK THIS HOTEL. read more
