Best Western Plus Paris Vélizy — Hotel in Versailles

Updated: Dropping it 2 stars for lots of little things. The ac doesn't get the room cold enough and i have to sleep on top of the bed or I wake up in puddle of sweat. The bathroom mirror has two vertical florescent lights on the sides and they are so bright that you can't easily look in the mirror unless your head is a few inches away. There seem to be quite a few broken items in here. The towel warmer does not work. There is a bunch of double sided tape residue on the bathroom wall where something must have been hanging. The sink plug is stuck in the down position and the maid keeps putting it back in every day so that my wife has to pry it back out with her fingernails. The maid also took my wet towel that was hanging up to dry, and folded it up so that it couldn't dry.

Side comment about sound: our room faces the highway and has two double pane windows insulating the noise. It's quiet. If you open the inner window it does get a bit loud, and if you open the outer window it is very loud.

Oh, and the breakfast is just okay. Make sure you get down before 8:30 though because they don't seem to restock food. I went down at 9 and the juice was all gone, the yogurts all gone, and hash browns gone. It's not worth the $16 if you don't get it included with the room.

Original review: Good WiFi, the rooms look very nice and high tech like they are either new or recently renovated. There are speakers in the bathroom that connect to the TV. All the lights can be turned on by putting your room key on the entry way holder. All the lights can also be turned off from bed! Pretty cool. There are towel warmers (I think that's what they are)(edit: it's broken) and two shower heads (edit: they only work one at a time). The staff was super friendly and helpful. I really like this place especially compared to the last Best Western that I...

We arrived in the dark and pouring rain. The hotel was really hard to spot in the dark with almost no external lighting on the side with the hotel entrance. Similarly the parking garage had no illuminated sign so we initially didn't spot it even though the place we had stopped the car initially was only a few metres away from the entrance! We don't have any eyesight issues. Once accessed the parking itself was well lit and secure, but cost 10€ per night.||The room itself was fine - no issues. Surprisingly spacious for Paris, and had kettle / tea / coffee etc. in the room. I agree with the earlier reviewer about the bottle of water in the room though. It's not sealed and is supposedly refilled between guests but you really have no idea when this might have been. We didn't touch it.||We stayed on a Saturday night and learned from the staff that because the hotel is basically empty over the weekends that the bar and restaurant are closed every weekend. This isn't made clear at time of booking. We couldn't even get a glass of wine, and given the awful weather and because we were tired after our journey we didn't feel like venturing out.||Breakfast however was excellent - fantastic variety of fresh food hot and cold; lots of bread / croissants / cake etc. We were very relieved because we were concerned that given the hotel was practically empty that the breakfast wouldn't be up to much but this was not the...

We stayed one night at the hotel on our roadtrip in France and this was the best place to stay in Paris given we were driving and didn't mind being a bit further from city centre.

In terms of the good, the following are the highlights:

1. The hotel offered us an upgrade to the business floor despite coming with a pet which other hotels don't usually do. The room was not too spacious which was expected being located in Paris but had all the amenities we needed.
2. The shower room was clean and I loved the option to play the radio in it which was a good feature.
3. Breakfast was great and had both a continental option and full English which we were free to select.
4. All areas were pet friendly and no one made a fuss over an occasional bark.
5. Parking was free in their underground car park and it was safe with convenient access to the lifts.

The not so good:

1. The air conditioning was not powerful enough. We stayed on a not too particularly hot day which was around 23c but the A/C didn't sufficiently cool the room by bedtime which was disappointing.
2. The kettle wasn't working but we used the coffee machine which was an ok alternative. Overall, very good hotel with loads of amenities. Highly recommended if you're travelling with pets or...
