So we’re preparing our trip for Paris. You know, hotel bookings and stuff. Luckily we wanted to book our hotel and get that out of the way. It’s very much a pain to book a hotel in Paris. Not only is it expensive, but it appears that the quality of the hotels are not as good as the US/Canada. It’s quite surprising!
We decided to go through hotwire and we’ll probably get a decent hotel. Or at least we thought. In the past we have tried hotwire and got the Sheraton which was pretty awesome. This time we went with a 3 star hotel and got something called ‘Hotel Cheverny’.
For those of you who don’t know how hotwire works, essentially you pay for a hotel, you don’t know which hotel. You just specify an area, price, star, etc. and they choose the hotel for you. So in essence, it’s a gamble. No refunds, no changes.
I had a gut feeling to not do this but we went with it anyways, since sometimes it’s fun not really knowing what you’ll get. It’s like going to a buffet! LOL. Though I have to admit, I’m a bit scared about our potential sleeping place. Having read some negative reviews on tripadvisor.com, this has really gotten me worried.
I just have to remind myself that this is our sleeping grounds and only there to sleep. Not to hang out, just to sleep, since we are in Paris! We’ll make the best of it!
