Courtyard by Marriott Paris Saint Denis

I am so glad I chose to stay at the Courtyard Paris Saint Denis! The hotel is located just outside Paris, but only a 15 to 25 minute subway ride from all of the attractions. There are three main reasons why I loved this hotel and will choose to stay at it again. First, the air-conditioning is fantastic for summer. Being in Paris in the summer, I called to make sure hotels had good air-conditioning and this hotel has impeccable cooling units in the room. Next, I wanted a large room by American standards. The rooms were very large and spacious. It is rare to get these sizes in central Paris. I also appreciated how quiet the hotel felt, making it easy to rest after long days of sightseeing. Last, I wanted a hotel with a 24 hour fitness center. It was a great gym with free weights, treadmills and other items to keep you fit. The rooms though were magnificent. I loved the new decor in the renovated rooms. I especially liked the bathroom lighting. There is a grocery store behind the hotel and random restaurants within the vicinity, but again, the metro (subway) is close by allowing you in and out of central Paris in 15 to 25 minutes. I will happily stay here again for the comfort, space and easy city access.
