What is not shown on the Expedia site is that the Hotel has a separate website where four or five rooms are offered on the top floor (with views of the Eiffel Tower and a deck where you can sit). Fortunately, they put us in one of these rooms since I pointed out they showed photos of the corner room and imply this is one of the superior rooms - when it isn't. if these unadvertised rooms were available on the Expedia site then I'd have no problems with them showing these photos of this great room (we had the room next to it - which was excellent). If you decide to try for these rooms, make sure you request for one of the following:
51 through 55 (55 is the corner room - the one in the photo). 54, the one we had, was excellent. We watched the lights of the Eiffel Tower turn on every night and sat on the deck almost every night and talked with people sitting on their decks too. It was an excellent place to be. The hotel has a small but great breakfast venue and for the cost, I do recommend that since it's in the basement and has a better than average set of choices. Do remember, this is Paris, and everything is older, so the rooms are fairly small, but adequate (if you've got a lot of luggage, you're going to run into some problems). The Ecole Militaire underground station is a long block away and DOES NOT have elevators or escalators. If you've got a lot of luggage, take a taxi because you've got to carry it up LOTS of stairs in the underground maze.
