Novotel Suites Paris Montreuil Vincennes

Pros: Night staff tried to assist as best as he could. Hotel manager was nice enough to refund me (just the room charge - not taxes) in the morning after I told him I didn't sleep due to lack of air-conditioning. Secured 'paid parking' is available. Free Wi-fi.

Cons: Air conditioning did not work in 3 different rooms tried. Most rooms smell of cigarette smoke. Room size is a joke; seems as if it was pulled out of a tiny cruise ship. Walls are paper thin, so expect no privacy. Avoid this hotel! Hotel is 1 star at best.

Wifi was way too slow, made it impossible to do anything.

Pros: Staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was very good.

Cons: Didnt realize there was an open air market right in front of the street. Was difficult to get to parking and frankly a bit discgusting when you walked out the door.
