Please help me to choose a nice and clean hotel in the heart of Paris for under $100. I'm getting lost in the number of choices from the internet. <BR>Thanks Natalie.

Hi Natalie. I can't recommend this enough: get ahold of the latest (March) issue of National Geographic Traveler magazine. There's an excellent article on "22 Hotels in Paris for under $100." All of them, with the exception of a couple in Montmartre, are in the heart of Paris. Bon Chance!

Try the Muguet in the 7th. It was only 560FF last May. It was in a great location,cute, clean, and friendly. My husband and I followed advice from this site last year. It worked out perfectly! Try a search on the name and hopefully you can find more info.If you stay, don't pet the tan poodle in the lobby, just the black one.
