5.0 out of 5 stars A Useful and Enjoyable Book for Paris Lodging and Shopping, December 27, 2001

By	"martin1776" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sandra Gustafson's Great Sleeps Paris (Paperback)

Paris is a challenging city when it comes to lodging. Hotels abound, but are they any good? And hotels are usually crowded, so if you don't like yours, you might be stuck. Fodor's is some help, but its reviews are short. This book spends the better part of a page on an average review, and some are longer. Prices are up to date and evaluations are accurate. The book is arranged by District, so once you know about where you'd like to be you can research in detail. I do wish, however, that she would mention hotels she didn't like that she saw, because there are many hotels one encounters while in Paris and it would be nice to know why she didn't pick the ones she didn't. A minor complaint, however. A good bonus is her inclusion of many more hotel web sites than Fodor's. And believe me, most of the decent hotels have sites with photos and info, as well as reservation capabilities. Be sure to follow her advice to use email or fax to confirm and get your confirmation in writing. She also addresses shopping and does a good job. We went to some places she like and were pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars right on!, April 3, 2004

This review is from: Sandra Gustafson's Great Sleeps Paris (Paperback)

Sandra's description of our hotel (Hotel Residence Monge) was exactly on the mark. Friends have used her books for other cities and found her views accurate also. I would not go to Europe again without first consulting Sandra!
