I've been reading about these terrible Paris shuttle stories on this site, and I'm getting a little concerned. I'm taking my first trip to Paris this December, and I don't want my first few hours there to be miserable. Are there any good shuttle services in Paris? I've been looking at the Air-City shuttle service website, but I'm wondering if anyone has used this service before. Is a taxi much more expensive. I'll be traveling from the Charles de Gaulle airport to the Hotel Residence Monge, and I really don't want to have my first experience in Paris to start out badly. Thanks!

The most talked-about (in a good way) service is:

I'm sure most of the events work out fine, even if some are bad. Besides, upon arrival you don't need to get somewhere by a certain time so won't need to worry about missing a flight (as you would upon leaving). People who have problems always post about something, but this isn't a random sample as you don't get all the mentions of no problems. Having said that, I never take a shuttle myself because that's one thing I just don't do.

There have been a bazillion threads on here about taxi and transportation from CDG to central Paris. A taxi to that location will run you about 45-50 euro with a small tip, probably, assuming you are not arriving at night or some other surcharge time period (holidays, Sunday).
