My return flight to SFO leaves at 6:45am from CDG/Paris. Does anyone know of an economy hotel near or at CDG for the night before my flight?
Last time I checked, Ibis Hotels at CDG (there are 2) had a special called "Happy 30", meaning if you book 30 days ahead the room rate was 59 euro.
Thanks Norma. I'll check it out.
The Hotel Ibis Charles de Gaulle Aéroport/Terminal is the one next to Terminal 3 and is within easy walking distance of the free 24/7 CDGVAL driverless shuttle train that connects all the terminals.
The one time we stayed in a Formule 1 (and it was OK if rather cell-like) there was no one on duty overnight or early in the morning, so it might be a bit difficult getting a cab to the airport at a really early hour.
Adding to my previous post, here are two more hotels which, like Ibis, are in the Accor chain.
Etap Hotel Roissy CDG Paris Nord 2 (cheaper than Ibis) and Formule 1 Roissy Aéroport CDG PN 2 (cheaper yet) are right next to each other about 5km from CDG. You would have to share a bathroom at the Formule 1 hotel. Accor operates free shuttle buses from its hotels to the airport, but they don't start running until 05:15 so you would need to take a taxi to the airport.
Thanks to everyone for their input. I've booked a room at the Etap.
