Thanks for topping your trip reports, Maureen. It was really informative and mostly very amusing. I think I'd feel pretty insecure with that Nazi server in Paris. And I thought it was really funny how your Parisian waiter wanted to move to the US to avoid rude Parisians. :)

Francophile, glad you liked it!

Maureen, I still have to :) everytime I think about your (Parisian) waiter saying how rude the Parisians are so he's moving to the US! Thanks again!

Sorry if this is a duplicate ttt message. I thought I just posted one, but it didn't show up. Since I just referred someone to this info., thought I'd better bring it to the top so she could find it if she's looking.

Topping to answer a question.

Hi there MaureenB, I enjoyed reading about your vacation! I am booked to stay at the Hotel Residence Le Coin from Christmas to New Years day. Can you post some pictures? I have an email at [email protected] I would really love to see pics of the hotel and to hear some more about it.I am a Grad student at Stevens Tech, do we get discounts there as well? Or just NYU??

Muzebiz, the pics I have aren't digital, but I could scan a couple and send them to you when I find time in the next weeks. I have a good photo or two of the front of the hotel, and looking down the street. You won't be disappointed with it, I don't think.
We had two twin rooms, connected, for our family of four. (The two beds can push together to make a king-sized bed.) I think it was about 95EU per room last June.
The rooms are quite large, with a desk and chair, an armoire, two nice sitting chairs. The TV has cable, and there's a phone, too. I'm not sure about internet access, but I think they have it, too. It seems to be set up for the business traveler, although it works for everyone. The kitchenette is handy, with a little stovetop, sink, and refrigerator. I can't remember if there's a microwave or oven, though. The floors are wooden, with in-floor heating. The windows are large and look onto a nice, somewhat quiet street. The baths are new, white tiled, and not huge but plenty large, with a tub/shower. The place is very clean and well-kept. It's a great locatoin for walking everywhere. And as I said in my trip report, there are two very nice cafes right on the same block. The hotel has a nice breakfast room and offers a breakfast, but we never used it.
Also, the restaurants I mention in my trip report are great. A bit pricey, but very trendy and well worth it for the service and food.
We contacted the Hotel directly for a reservation, and when I told them we'd be in town for a conference at the university, they automatically offered us a discount. You could give it a try. I think since they are relatively new, they might be offering discounts to build their clientele and reputation. Which won't take long because they are such a good value and nice place.
I'll try to get the photos e-mailed after T-Day.

What a wonderful trip you had (well, despite the luggage fiasco)!

I especially enjoyed reading your restaurant recommendations. Thanks for pointing me toward this thread in your response to my B&B query. We are absolutely going to try Noorjahan 2 -- we're huge fans of Indian food!
