fff - when i'm looking for specific dates, I go to TA, select the dates i'm interested in, and then use the various functions to select what i want - position, price, etc.

then I look at the reviews on other websites like booking.com, and at the hotel's own website.

by disposing of the ones that have seriously bad reviews, i usually end up with a short-list of 4-5 quite quickly, which i weed out by location, feel, and price.

IRA: Does the Bonaparte still offer breakfast in the room? That was one of my favorite things about them.

Many hotels offer breakfast in your room in Paris, in fact, I've never been in one that didn't. That is not an upper end thing, some hotels offer it in your room because they don't want to have or staff a breakfast room and it is required by French law for a hotel to be able to give you breakfast (not for free), so if they don't have a breakfast room, they must provide it in your room. That's the reason the Hotel Bonaparte used to do it, because they had no breakfast room. So if you want to be sure they do, find a hotel without a breakfast room. For example, the 1* Hotel Tiquetonne serves it in your room.
