I come to Paris at least four time per year and Le Meridien Montparnasse is my top choice when rooms are available.
1. The Gare Montparnasse is just across the street and from there you can access the Metro to all of Paris.
2. The Justine restaurant has a buffet every night that is well worth the 37 Euro price. Excellent food, wine, and service.
3. The rooms are clean, large, and comfortable. Internet service is available in the room for a nominal fee.
4. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful.
5. There is a gift shop in the lobby, a wonderful bar, and two dining choices, The Justine (for more casual dining) and Le Montparnasse 25 for more formal dining and top rated food.

Okay, now the only complaint I can even come up with is that when big events (soccer championships, Paris Air Show, Automobile Convention, etc.) come to Paris, Le Meridien books up very fast and getting a room can be a challenge. During the Paris Air Show I managed to get a room but had to pay "rack rates" (410 Euros per night!!!!) for it. I thought my manager would skin me alive for that cost...
So, if you know you are traveling to Paris, book this hotel as soon as you can to get a room and better price. It will become your favorite hotel too.
