My travel plans have experienced a major disruption and it looks like were going to have to spend two nights in Paris in mid-to-late June. Flying into and out of Orly. I've stayed at Lyric Hotel Paris Opera before and thought the location was great, though I didn't like the staff. Anything solid in that part of Paris, preferably under $300, should work. Would prefer recommendations based on your personal experience. Willing to stay in other areas as long as they're not too far from the attractions. Thank you!!!

At this late date it would be smart to get on Booking.com to see what is even available that suits your needs
Narrow it down then come back here to ask for experienced recommendations

I doubt these will have availability, but it never hurts to check!
I've stayed at these hotels and loved both places. They are in the Marais, at opposite ends. Great restaurants, shopping, and site-seeing within walking distance of both. Both have AC and tiny elevators.
Hotel Beaubourg
11 Rue Simon le Franc, 75004 Paris, France

Stayed here once. Very good prices and amazing location.
Hotel St. Louis Marais
1 Rue Charles V, 75004 Paris, France

Stayed here twice. Pricier than the Beaubourg, but not crazy. I slightly prefer this one because they have large bathrooms by Parisian standards.

Actually, we're going to have to go to London now. Appreciate the information though. I'll consider those options for a future Paris stay. Consider this one closed.

I loved the Lyric hotel myself - and also found the staff more odd than anything.
Try the Hôtel Saint-Petersbourg right near Printemps or try Hotel Square Louvois which is between the Lyric and the Louvre on one of my favorite squares in Paris.
Edit: just saw your change of plans. London. Beurk
