Thanks, avalon.
I am glad FMT raised a red flag to me. I was liking all the practical aspects of D'Auvergne, but was not in love with its aesthetics.
The Jacques looks so lovely, and just what we want. Good area for us, too, since we didn't make it to the Sorbonne and Latin Quarter on our first visit to Paris.
More expensive, and no breakfast included, but you only go around once, right?

We too like this area a lot. We've stayed in an apartment a bit further down Rue des Ecoles. As Avalon said, there are many good and fairly priced restaurants nearby, such as Le Buisson Ardent. Also, Christophe on Rue Descartes. Place de la Contrescarpe up the hill is a great place to relax with a drink or coffee. For more liveliness, head to Saint-Michel.
While Saint-Jacques was the name of the hotel in the movie Charade, with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, the actual location was another hotel further out in the 5th, according to http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/c/charade.html
