I'm an older traveler, and I've read and heard a lot lately about blood clots being caused by long overseas flights in economy-class seats. According to The Wall Street Journal, blood clots killed at least 30 arriving passengers in the last three years at London's Heathrow Airport alone. Someone mentioned the Hotel Costes, but it's a bit too expensive for our budget. Try the Hotel Bel-Ami on the Left Bank. Rooms include CD players, large-screen TVs with VCRs, and spacious marble baths with double sinks and separate tubs and showers.
Rooms can be on the small side, but they're classy.
