Paris Hotel Choices (limited)

This is our first trip to Paris and I%26#39;m using hotel points for my trip so have limited hotel options. I can%26#39;t decide between the two since I%26#39;m not familiar with the area.

Courtyard Paris Neuilly - located at 58 Blvd. Victor Hugo

Renaissance Paris Hotel La Defense - located at 60 Jardin de Valmy, Boulevard Circulaire, Sortie 7

We would like to be near the main attraction areas and also see the nightlife and not be too far from it.

What do you recommend between the two locations?

Thanks for your help!

I%26#39;ve stayed at both locations:

Renaissance La Defense

Pros

- Got to see a different side of Paris (futuristic Wallstreet area)

- Walk to metro stop is pretty close

Cons

- Metro stop is far away from attractions

- Area dark at night...Need to take a taxi back

- Taxi is expensive...Had difficulty finding taxi drivers at night to drive us back to hotel

Courtyard Neuilly

Pros

- Got to see a different side of Paris (upper class residential)

- We got a room with a great view of Paris at night, including Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triomphe and Sacre Couer...A great view!!!

- Metro is closer to Paris attractions

Cons

- Walk to metro stop is far about 15 minutes but a nice walk

- Area dark at night...Need to take a taxi back

- Taxi is cheaper...Easy to find taxis to take you back

Between the two locations, I would recommend Courtyard Neuilly...

Hope this helps!!!

Personally I don%26#39;t like either location. In fact, a relative had a free stay at the La Defense property and I decided to pay for rooms in St. Germain rather than stay out at La Defense even though the stay was comped. Never stayed in Neuilly either but from what the previous poster described it seems to be a better choice than La Defense.
