Hi, we are taking a trip to Paris soon. We have the following options for hotels. Hotel Brighton, hotel Relais Bosquet, hotel Varenne, and Gramont Opeta. Also, the Citadines Saint Germain is possible as a serviced apartment. Anyone have experience with any of these choices? Thanks.

There are a thousand or two thousand hotels in Paris. Why are your options only those four? Just curious, there was no hint about your selection process that, apparently, got it down to four?
If you give us more info, we may be able to be more helpful--at least we'll understand your question.

I am traveling with three females in one room and it was fairly last minute. My husband did a lot of research and based on our travel dates, location, and a larger possible room size, these are those he was able to hold. Now is decision time

I use booking.com to look up reviews and locations/amenities and then just pick one. I like staying in the St Germain/Luxembourg Garden area. You just have to pick one and go with it! :)

"3 females in one room." So, I'm thinking you want a room with a larger, more modern bathroom.
I don't know how much experience you have with Paris hotel rooms. Often the bathrooms are surprisingly small, compared to the US. And the rooms are smaller, too.
If the size and modernity of the bathrooms is an area of interest for you, I suggest you go to each hotel website and look carefully at any photos or descriptions they have of the size of the room, bathroom, etc.
If not, you can just be surprised when you get there.

Are you a group of 3 or a group of 4, i.e. you and the 3 females that you mention? If you are 4, I am relatively sure that the Relais Bosquet is not an option for 4 to a room. You may have a similar issue with the Hotel de Varenne, which has a room four but it a room with a sofa bed for 2 and a double bed and not ideal for four adults. For your space needs, whether it is for 3 or 4, I think that your best best bets are the Gramont Opera and the Citadines, although of the four hotels listed, I like the location and style of the Hotel de Varenne the best. At least at the Citadines, you will have two rooms and toilet that is separate from the rest of the bathroom.

IMHO, I think renting an apartment is much more comfortable if you're staying 3 or more nights. I don't think I will ever stay in another hotel unless it's a 1 or 2 night stop. 3 females in one room is too close for me! The choice of apartments is as vast as the choice of hotels. There are tons of agencies you can find online. The caveat with apartment rentals is to be sure to look for AC info if it's warmer, and whether there is a lift (if this is a concern) as well as the other amenities.
