Hi,
Two quick questions. Is it difficult to return rental cars to the Avis depot at the cdg airport and/or how far is it from cdg Hilton to terminal 3.
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Not very far, and the hotel has a shuttle to the terminals. Returning the car isn't particularly difficult.

Just a quick heads up. Someone reported here yesterday that she got the CDG Hilton for 79 USD/night by bidding on Priceline. If you're not familiar with PL, go to www.biddingfortravel.com and learn how to bid.

I hope this is not for a stay in Paris. Being close to the airport is useful only if you plan to sightsee at the airport. (Of course, if you only have an extended layover, an airport hotel is fine—but in that case, why would you need a car?)

I gathered that the plan was to return a rental car at CDG, then spend the night at the Hilton before a morning flight. But perhaps not?

That's my impression, too, Underhill.

Thanks for your replies and yes I am returning the rental car and flying out the next morning. Incidentally, do standard rooms at the airport Hilton have views of the runways or do you have to stay in the executive rooms to get this view. The reason is that I am an aeronautical buff and would love to watch the airport activity if possible.
