I stayed at this place on Sept. 21st. The elevator is closet size. The room doesn%26#39;t have a bolt lock. It was just a door that had a button knob lock.
The bedspread looked like it hadn%26#39;t been updated for 12 years. The sheets seemed clean, but the noise from outside was not nice. I was trying to sleep in the afternoon (after an 11 hour flight) and left about 5 hours after to meet my friend at his family%26#39;s apt.
I booked this through Expedia.

IT%26#39;s too bad you had a bad experience at your hotel. Is it at the Place Clichy? That%26#39;s not exactly a quiet area...
One thing that should be noted, though, is that Parisian hotel elevators are almost always extremely small....

It%26#39;s too bad that you chose such a noisy area. I carry ear plugs just in case I do the same thing. It%26#39;s so hard to know.
Elevators in Europe in general have often been added to older buildings, and are seldom very large because of the limitations of the old construction. I am always just grateful that I don%26#39;t have to climb the stairs.
Next time search for the revues of your hotels here on the forum. THey almost always comment on whether or not a location is quiet.
In spite of those problems, did you enjoy Paris?

Yes, but I was in Paris 11 years ago. I did all the tourist things then. This time I visited with a friend of mine, and the experience was so much better. I re-visited the Pantheon, Notre Dame, Jardin Luxembourg, and Eiffel Tower. I wasn%26#39;t able to re-visit Champs Elysees. Paris seems different to me, b/c many new stores have been added to streets. Next time I would like to make it to the Picasso Museum and spend more time in Jardin Tulleries.

Hotel du Casino
Rue de Clichey @ Moncey.
It%26#39;s 4 blocks away from the Moulin Rouge area. Blanche Metro stop.

Please be more specific. Rue de Clichy does not go anywhere near place Blanche. Are you referring to boulevard de Clichy, perhaps?

It is indeed on rue de Clichy, but the closest métro station is Liège, about 150 yards from the hotel. The Place de Clichy, St.-Lazare and Trinité stations are all closer to the hotel than Blanche which must be close to a half mile away.

I just took a look at the reviews for your hotel on this site. They seem to be generally positive. Too bad you didn%26#39;t like it.
There are certainly quieter places to stay in Paris, if quiet is what you are looking for, and many with more %26quot;charm%26quot;...
Better luck next time!
