I need to stay near CDG airport on my last night in Paris since my flight is at 6:50 am. I'm close to settling on the Holiday Inn with the internet special rate of 89 euro (no cancellation allowed). I can't find out what time the shuttle starts running, anybody had any experience? The website and the 800 number aren't helpful. Any other hotels in the same price range and convenience that I should check out before booking with Holiday Inn?

yes several and perhaps cheaper

www.accorhotels.com has several properties on airport periphery with shuttle buses to terminals - of varying price and amenities.

Priceline 4*. Recent reports are about $115 to $125. Usually get the Hilton, which is adjacent to the RER/CDGVAL station for CDG Terminal 3, or they have a shuttle. Other 4*s in that zone are also all inside airport with shuttle; or if you're lucky, you may get the Sheraton right at CDG2.

Thanks both of you. I'll check out the accorhotels link. As for priceline, since you can't pick out room type, I'm going to have to stay away from that for this trip since it's a must that the room have two beds. I really wish they'd change that, but oh well!

I don't know about the Holiday Inn by CDG, but the Express by Holiday Inn by CDG says:
For your comfort, an indoor car park and a regular airport shuttle service (every day from 5.20 am to 00.35)are at your disposal.

But why not phone the Holiday Inn directly and ask the front desk? I suspect it's not a 24-hour shuttle, or they'd trumpet that fact.

I stayed at the Sofitel, VERY nice. I got an internet special of 100 euros. Good deal, nice breakfast. My flight was later in the morning, so can't comment on start time...5-10 mins to terminals
