text: Paris hotel has a hint of a 19th Century theme, so don't expect it to be very \"modern\". It's more focused on the well known Parisian elegance and opulence. It has some ups and downs, for instance; in one hand the rates are fair, the newly re-modeled rooms are very spacious and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful; at least the few I interacted with. On the other hand; the bad hand, cleanliness and upkeep is only a facade until you get to your room. In one of the stands in the room, there was a dried up fluid stain in the surface. In addition, the love-seat in the room had a 2-3 inch tear in the back rest. How long has that been there? no way to tell. The hotel seems to have a constant costumer tempo and shutting a room down for every minor repair is preposterous. However, a thorough cleaning before/after a costumer is not too much to ask, is it? and how hard is it to stitch up a  torn fabric? Because of the lack of attention to detail is why Paris deserves a border-line three our of five.
