We will be staying at CDG in Paris before out flight the next day. I know the sheraton is in the airport, but it's expensive and not terrific. Is there another hotel that is a short walk from the terminal?

thx

I've stayed at the Ibis CDG and was perfectly happy with it.

Novotel is fine too. It is in the airport and super convenient for the RER and the terminals.

I have stayed at the Novotel and I can recommend it (price-wise and in other ways). It is next to the RER station where there are some shops open till late in the evening and you can just wheel your luggage into the airport the next day. The restaurant is a good basic family-friendly one. Rooms are small but you are not staying there for many days normally. The rooms were at least bigger than the Hilton Garden Inn at Frankfurt Airport . If you join Accor's loyalty club (free) you usually get a discount or an upgrade, they are quite generous.

Good luck, whatever you choose.

We like the convenience and vibe of Citizen M.

Ditto for Citizen M
2017 price was 100 euro
one feature we particularly liked was the temp control on shower; set it for 104 degrees, perfect; 101 was perfect for spouse
another was the I-pad (theirs) controlled room features, such as lights, window shades, music etc
food in lobby
