Before I get "do the research" bit, I am looking for a 100-130E/night recommendation for a couple in their 40's who want a decent place to stay but don't intend to do too much more than sleep there. Prefer to spend money on good food, not hotel- although would like better than Days Inn equivalent. Intend to go in mid to late February. Can you help? Thanks

Check out Hotel des Grandes Ecoles in the 5th. Highly recommended by me a lot of other Fodor's posters.<BR>Check out its website:<BR>http://www.hotel-grandes-ecoles.com<BR>email: [email protected]

I recommend Hotel de la Bretonnerie in the Marais. I love the area and I loved the hotel.

Try Hotel Monge in the 5th. Approximately 95 euros per night for summer rate. February might be even better.<BR><BR>www.hotelmonge.com<BR><BR>I just reserved there myself after checking out numerous great recommendations on this board. You could also do a text search for &quot;paris hotels&quot; and come up with great info.<BR><BR>Good luck.<BR>

Grand Hotel des Balcons is great, if you do a search you will see many positive comments. We paid 110 euros in Sept. Private bath, and they have an elevator. Don't know if it would be cheaper in Feb. Great location a couple of blocks north of Luxembourg Gardens in the 6th and a couple of blocks south of the Odeon Metro. Very helpful clerks at the desk.

I have stayed several times at Hotel St. Paul de Marais; it's right by the St Paul Metro stop in the 4th and should be in your price range. Here is a link to its website. http://www.hotel-paris-marais.com/gb/menu.html
