Novotel Paris Vaugirard Montparnasse

My husband and I stayed here during our vacation to Paris. We were there with tour group. All of the staff members were friendly and welcoming. They were constantly working hard to deliver excellent customer service. They were very patient with first-time international travelers like us. The breakfast buffet was excellent! The buffet features plenty of options to appeal to everyone. My favorite part was the fruit offered each morning. The fruit was so fresh and ripe. I couldn't believe how good the fruit was. The crepes were so light and good. I did not even have to try any other crepes in Paris. These were excellent. We could see into the kitchen as the staff members prepared the food. I want to give a special shoutout to Stephanio, the kitchen manager. He was working as hard as everyone else, with a smile on his face. They all worked hard to ensure the food was restocked regularly. I can never look at another continental breakfast in an American hotel the same way again. The front desk staff members were so patient when the members of our tour group had a million questions for them, even if they had already answered the same question numerous times before. They were patient and kind when we were all jet lagged. Guy was especially helpful and kind when we needed assistance. The main question for us Americans had to do with the air conditioning. Due to local regulations, hotel rooms are not allowed below a certain temperature. We visited during a heat wave, so we needed our a/c. I finally figured out how to work the a/c so that our room would cool down. After that, the room was pleasant. If we ever go back to Paris, I would definitely look at staying here again.
