Hotel Daunou Opera

The rooms were small, which is certainly typical for hotels in the 2nd arr. Several of the staff were very helpful, but a couple were disinterested in doing anything beyond talking about a problem. There were no accessible outlets to charge phones or to use a medical machine required for sleeping. I got one person to agree to find an extension cord, but didn't follow through. I also asked about changing rooms to one that had an outlet near the bed. I was told that there were no vacancies. I spoke to a second who just shrugged, saying he did not know anything about it. My French is pretty proficient, so it was not a language issue. When I wrote to Orbitz, the company intervened for me. However, the hotel responded to Orbitz explaining that I needed an adaptor to use French outlets. Really? Thanks, hotel. I hadn't figured that out in my dozen or so trips to Europe. It wasn't horrific, but was unpleasant. Then the hotel offered to move me to another room. Magically, there were now vacancies, now that my comments were public. There are LOTS of other hotels in Paris...
