My wife and i checked into the Hotel Passy Eiffel on Oct 13th for a 7 night stay. As this was gonna be my wife's bucket-list trip I'd promised her 30 years ago... I let her choose the hotel and I planned everything else for the week.. Without telling my wife, I upgraded in advance to the "deluxe" and supposedly larger room for about $300 more.. I'll add that I've traveled the world over 50 years from Cairo to Bora Bora and as it turns out that while this was the second most expensive room I've ever stayed in... it was hands down the smallest room I've ever stayed in. That includes huts on the Amazon. While the room was clean, modern, tasteful, with many amenities... there wasn't room to open both our suitcases at the same time unless they were on the bed.. If this was the "deluxe".. I can't imagine what a standard room looks like.
Before I go any further I have to mention, before arriving I asked the hotel if they could pick us up at the airport (Charles DeGaulle) and they said.. "sure... at a cost of $95E"... That kinda miffed me as virtually every other hotel I've ever stayed at on planet earth picked you up for FREE... After paying over $2000 for the week, I'd expected a warmer (and cheaper) welcome. We decided to just grab a cab at the airport (which is very easy) for the 40 minute drive and that cost only 65E.
Expedia won't let me post my full review here.. If interested in the full review... email me directly - pirateslairATgmailDOTcom
