What's Going on in Paris mid-May?
I've been trying for two days to reserve a hotel in Paris for a client who will be there for 5 days beginning May 16. I've contcted 10 hotels - all completely full.
What's up? Anyone have any suggestions for a hotel for a couple with a 6-year-old child around 100-120 euro a night? I've already tried the Hotel de France, Muguet, Champs de Mars, Turenne, College de France St Thomas d'Aquin, Jeanne d'Arc, Lux Hotel Picpus, TimHotel Eiffel, Londres-Eiffel, de Lille...and a few more I forget.

Decent budget hotels in Paris are usually small and fill up fast - often 3/4 months in advance. Looking only 2 weeks in advance is VERY late.
Have you done a search here for other recos?
Have you checked venere.com? They have very few left for those dates but seem to have a couple in that price range.

You could also try Hôtel de Saint-Germain. We've never stayed there but its owned by the Fleurie and I've seen positive mentions here.

I think nytraveler is right. That's only a couple weeks away, and the most popular and in-demand small budget hotels are just booked up farther head than that. That budget is really tight for a decent triple in Paris in a good area, also.
Well, a few other ideas in the Latin Qtr (as I know it better): maybe the Parc St Severin, the Abbatial St Germain, the Sorbonne, or the Familia, maybe even the Claude Bernard, the Elysa Luxembourg, the Europe St Severin, the St Jacques--or the Monge or St Christophe or even the Arenes (last three are near place Monge metro).
I don't know if all those are in that budget, though. I think the Arenes is (and is a 3*), and it's not as wellknown, so maybe a better bet for not being full. A triple is about 120 euro

Thanks for all the ideas! I know it's late and the price is low, and I'd never find myself in this pickle, but I'm hoping to be able to help these folks out.
With your help, maybe I can!
Merci!
