Heroin: Small cities, even rural towns face growing problems
For many communities, the extent of heroin addiction comes as a shock. Yet efforts to confront it, including town-hall meetings and support groups, are slowly gaining ground.
For years, heroin was considered an affliction mainly of poor urban neighborhoods. But these days, the drug is becoming popular in affluent suburbs, small cities, and even rural towns ŌĆō especially among young people.
From Arizona to New Jersey, many communities that never imagined they would have a heroin problem now face a rising toll of addiction, overdoses, and even deaths.
ŌĆ£You would have to go pretty remote to find a place that didnŌĆÖt have this,ŌĆØ says Kathleen Kane-Willis, a researcher at Roosevelt University in Chicago who has tracked heroin use since 2004. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just everywhere.ŌĆØ
But for communities and in particular parents, the problem can come as a total surprise.
Take Tamara Olt and her husband, who were vacationing in Mexico last April when they got the call that every parent dreads. One of their sons was lying unconscious in his basement room at the familyŌĆÖs home in Dunlap, a small town in central Illinois.
Joshua Olt died in the emergency room that evening. He was 16.
ŌĆ£Heroin was the biggest shock of my life,ŌĆØ says Dr. Olt, an obstetrician and gynecologist. ŌĆ£The drug had never crossed my mind.ŌĆØ
Yet as more communities realize they have a problem, efforts to confront it are slowly gaining ground. Concerned parents, school administrators, and law-enforcement officials are holding town-hall meetings, forming support groups, and starting campaigns to discourage heroin use.
ŌĆ£We recognize that this is an emerging problem,ŌĆØ says Dianne McDonald, a curriculum director at two Joliet, Ill., high schools. ŌĆ£We want to be proactive.ŌĆØ
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, heroin use in the United States rose 66 percent between 2007 and 2011. The US Drug Enforcement Administration says seizures of heroin have doubled since 2008, and arrests have risen by a third. Most heroin comes from Asia, but more and more is arriving from South America and Mexico.
Although heroin use has been expanding for a decade or more, many communities are just beginning to understand the extent of their own heroin problem. The Dane County Narcotics and Gangs Task Force, which includes personnel in Madison, Wis., reported last year that drug overdoses had risen from 31 in 2007 to 175 in 2011, most due to heroin. In Will County, Ill., just outside Chicago, heroin-related deaths rose from five in 2000 to 53 last year. In Missouri, heroin deaths increased from 69 in 2007 to 244 in 2011 ŌĆō more than half of them in the age group 15 to 35.
The National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse ŌĆō St. Louis Area (NCADA), which offers emergency counseling and other services, has seen a dramatic shift in heroin-related calls. Until recently, most came from middle-aged people in poor urban areas. But four or five years ago, that changed. ŌĆ£They were mostly from youth, which was shocking to us,ŌĆØ says Dan Duncan, director of community services. ŌĆ£And they were coming from the suburbs. In 2010, it just seemed to explode.ŌĆØ
Heroin use is still relatively modest. According to the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 8.7 percent of Americans had recently taken illicit drugs, mostly marijuana and cocaine. Only a quarter of 1 percent over the age of 12 said they had used heroin. But heroin raises additional concerns because, like other opiates, it is considered powerfully addictive and difficult to give up.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been working at this for 29 years,ŌĆØ Mr. Duncan says. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve seen people addicted to many things, and heroin is always the hardest to deal with.ŌĆØ
HeroinŌĆÖs rising popularity reflects what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year described as an ŌĆ£epidemicŌĆØ of overdoses from prescription drugs, especially painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin. Users often switch from painkillers to heroin because itŌĆÖs cheaper and more readily available, experts say. A tenth of a gram, enough for two or three uses, sells for as little as $20. Moreover, heroin has become increasingly available in refined forms that can be sniffed or snorted. Many young people are introduced to heroin in a powder form but eventually switch to injections.
William Patrianakos is one of them. Mr. Patrianakos, who grew up in Lockport, just outside Chicago, tells people that ŌĆ£if there was a graduating class of first addicts to heroin around here, I was one of them.ŌĆØ He started by taking OxyContin pills he got from a girlfriend, and he switched to heroin when he no longer could get the pills. He had struggled with depression, he says, an drugs made him happy.
To finance the addiction, Patrianakos stole from his family, borrowed from friends, and taught himself to counterfeit $100 bills. Like many addicts, he entered treatment programs several times, only to return to heroin. He finally was arrested for counterfeiting and spent a year in a court-mandated drug program. Even then he relapsed for three months before, he says, he finally quit heroin for good.
Today Patrianakos, who is in his mid-20s, works as a computer programmer, makes speeches about drugs, and works with support groups for parents whose children are struggling with addiction or have died from overdoses.
In many places, heroin is still a hidden problem because of the stigma attached to the drug, parents and drug experts say. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs still an unwillingness to talk about it in some communities,ŌĆØ says Ms. Kane-Willis of Roosevelt University. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a sense of shame and a ŌĆśitŌĆÖs not hereŌĆÖ mentality.ŌĆØ
That may be changing, with communities trying to deal with the problem more openly. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to raise the curtain,ŌĆØ says Janice Harris, the mother of a 22-year-old heroin addict in Tucson, Ariz. Ms. Harris is founder of the There Is No Hero in Heroin Foundation, which held its first ŌĆ£community awareness forumŌĆØ in Tucson in November.
The response to such endeavors has often exceeded expectations. Two years ago NCADA, a leader in anti-heroin efforts, planned three public meetings. It ended up holding 27. Schools that initially ŌĆ£didnŌĆÖt want to have anything to do with usŌĆØ began asking for help, Duncan says. Organizations outside Missouri wanted advice, too. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had calls from all over saying, ŌĆśWhat did you guys do? We need to do something here,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ he says.
Recently, 11 high schools and middle schools in the Chicago area began teaching students about heroin using new educational materials from the Robert Crown Center for Health Education, a private organization in the Chicago suburbs. The center developed the materials because existing antidrug education wasnŌĆÖt working, says Kathleen Burke, the centerŌĆÖs chief executive officer.
ŌĆ£Students didnŌĆÖt know about heroin,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£They were not aware of what addiction was.ŌĆØ As part of the new curriculum, students are guided through an interactive computer program based on the true story of an addict their own age.
For young people who become addicted, thereŌĆÖs often too little help available, parents and others say. ŌĆ£The problem is getting the kids into treatment quickly,ŌĆØ Duncan says. Some parents recount desperate struggles to find help for their children. Patty DiRenzo of Blackwood, N.J., just outside Philadelphia, recalls how, after her son was turned down by rehabilitation centers and away from hospital emergency rooms, she gave him vodka so he could be admitted to a rehabilitation center with beds available only for alcoholics.
ŌĆ£You do what you have to to save your child,ŌĆØ Ms. DiRenzo says. In and out of treatment, her son, Salvatore Marchese, was found dead of an overdose in his car in June 2010.
Parents also complain that courts and hospitals are sometimes poorly prepared to deal with drug addiction. ŌĆ£It was frustrating and heartbreaking to see, to live, the experiences my son when through ŌĆō to see how the ŌĆśsystemŌĆÖ threw my son around and really got him nowhere,ŌĆØ says Bonnie Flazone-Capriola, a mother in Rockford, Ill. Ms. Flazone-Capriola says her son was arrested several times while seeking help for addiction.
ŌĆ£He once said to me, ŌĆśI donŌĆÖt know why they keep throwing me in jail. The only person I am hurting is myself,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ she says. He died of an overdose in 2010, she says, after a judge refused to allow him to receive methadone as a treatment for the addiction.
Increasingly, families of addicts are turning to one another for help. John Roberts was a newly retired Chicago police captain living in Homer Glen, Ill., when, in 2010, his youngest son died of a heroin overdose. Mr. Roberts reached out to another local father who had lost a son, and together they organized a march through their town.
ŌĆ£We were just a couple of dads just shocked by what was happening in our community,ŌĆØ Roberts says. They also started the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization, or HERO, an organization devoted to publicizing the heroin problem and helping the families of addicts.
Families have established many such groups around the country. Others are turning to the Internet. Vicki Allendorf, a mother in Dubuque, Iowa, started a Facebook page last year after running out of ideas for how to help three sons who had become heroin addicts.
ŌĆ£I was sort of reaching out to other parents,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£ ŌĆśHelp! What do I do? This isnŌĆÖt working.ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ
In just a few months, more than 2,500 people responded. They wrote from New Jersey, Florida, California, and rural Wisconsin. Many were parents of addicts, but addicts wrote, too.
ŌĆ£The really beautiful thing about this is that addicts have contacted me,ŌĆØ Ms. Allendorf says. ŌĆ£Now I really understand the addiction part of it.ŌĆØ The site has also helped more than 20 young people find treatment for addiction, including one of AllendorfŌĆÖs sons, who is now at a rehabilitation center in Florida.
Advocacy groups are also trying to help addicts through legislation. One issue, they say, is the reluctance of friends to call for help when an overdose occurs. Victims are left outside emergency rooms or simply abandoned. ŌĆ£The fear of police involvement is the main reason people donŌĆÖt call 911,ŌĆØ Kane-Willis says.
So far, 11 states have passed ŌĆ£good SamaritanŌĆØ laws that grant limited immunity to witnesses of a overdose. Advocates are also seeking new rules that allow doctors to prescribe naloxone, a drug used to counteract overdoses, to families of addicts.
Dr. Olt, who started a support group after her son died last April, has spoken frequently about her son in interviews with local news media. ŌĆ£My first inclination was, I want people to know who my son was,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£He wasnŌĆÖt a bad kid. He was an amazing person.ŌĆØ
She also hopes to warn other families: ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt matter where you work or live or what your social status is. Your child can be at risk.ŌĆØ

Nicki Minaj Covers Allure, Stakes Her Claim On Pink
Beauty magazine Allure have Nicki Minaj covering their April issue in enough pastel to satisfy the Easter bunny. Minaj rocks a pink wig on the cover and another inside the issue, where hair stylist Terrence Davidson tells Allure, "Nicki basically owns pink."
The magazine details Davidson's work on a Marie Antoinette-esque pink wig Minaj wore for the shoot that required two days and five hair pieces to create. Davidson is very important in Minaj's world, where she details to Allure her fascination with hair saying, "I had done something I thought was really, really, really cute, and I showed my neighbor," she says. "She was like, 'Why'd you do that to your hair?' And I never forget what I said: 'I'm someone new in this hair.'"
Minaj has ambition to match her collection of wigs. She tells the magazine about chatting with the leader of the rap game. "I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria's Secret fashion show," Minaj noted. "He said, 'Congratulations on all your success.' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm coming for you. I'm coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.'"
The April issue featuring Nicki Minaj hits newsstands on March 20. Minaj's new album, Roman Reloaded, is in stores on April 3. Minaj teased her fans on Twitter recently, saying that she would have a true hip-hop legend on the album.

http://www.the-brits.com/latest/news/protest-freeski-slopestyle-championships-review Protest Freeski Slopestyle Championships - Review BALL AND ROWLANDS CROWNED KING AND QUEEN OF PROTEST BRITISH SLOPESTYLE CHAMPS The BRITS Snow & Music Festival, 23rd - 30th March, Tignes, France Wednesday 27th March- Day three of the British Freeski Championships saw perfect conditions for the Protest Slopestyle Champs in Tignes. Blue skies greeted the riders and the sun continued to shine all day as Julian Ball (28, Val d'Isère) and 12 year old Madi Rowlands (Rochester) threw down their best moves to fight off strong opposition and become slopestyle king and queen. Julian Ball impressed the crowds and judges time after time as he pulled off big technical tricks all day including a massive cork 900 followed by a switch cork 720 with a tail grab, a switch 360 on the step up and another switch cork 720 on his first run of the final. His solid riding continued into the rails with two smooth 270 on, 270 offs, switching it up in the middle. Biting at his heels was young Michael Rowlands (15, Rochester) who was consistently spinning both ways and on his first run of the final stomped a stylish switch 540 tail grab followed by a 720 nose grab, a 360 on the step up then spinning left into a sweet 720 on the final big kicker. He mixed it up on the rails and rode a smooth 270 out of the kink rail, but it was just not enough to catch Ball. His solid run was enough to nudge out Tom Coe (20, Norwich), however, who held onto a podium position with a good variety of tricks including an effortless switch rodeo 540 japan and an inverted cork 720. But it was his slick rail riding which clinched him third place, just behind Rowlands. Ball, who also came third in the BRITS Bangers & Cash Rail Jam on Monday, was stoked with his win: "I am over the moon and I had a great day today. The course definitely favoured my riding style. The guys who had the double tricks couldn't really pull them out of the bag and conditions were quite slow for some of the smaller guys. I tried to change it up a bit and do some tricks that the other guys weren't doing to stand out a bit and tried to go big. I was really pleased with my runs and I will take the win for sure!" For the girls it was Madi Rowlands, younger sister of Michael, who took the top spot as she stomped her landings and impressed on the rails. In the absence of Olympic slopestyle hopeful Katie Summerhayes, Rowlands took full advantage and nailed a slick 900, the only girl to do so, and easily pulled off several 720s. She also had a solid run on the rails riding switch onto both the box and the first rail. Anna Vincenti (17, Edinburgh), came in second and also ramped up in the female riding standards being the only woman to ride the step up. She also stomped her rails with clean smooth rail riding on her second final run. Reigning Protest British Slopestyle champion Chloe Hardy (24, Oxford) couldn't manage to retain her title despite two consistent runs and some strong rail riding. Morzine seasonnaire Hardy rode switch onto the box and rail, looking super solid, but she couldn't quite compete with Rowlands and Vincenti and was nudged into third place. Rowlands, who has already had an impressive BRITS so far, said: "I am pretty stoked. I was happy with my run and I would say I got it how I wanted to get it. The course was good, the weather was perfect and I am really happy." The Protest British Slopestyle Championships course consisted of two sections, the first four kickers represented 60% of the marks and the lower rail section made up the remaining 40%.

White Sox, A's to Be Featured on NBC Sports' CAUGHT LOOKING Tonight
With the Oakland A's and the Chicago White Sox both chasing Postseason berths, CAUGHT LOOKING (Thursday, Sept. 27th at 9 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network) will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the recent series pitting the A's against the New York Yankees, and the White Sox against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Major League Baseball Productions embedded camera crews with both the A's and the White Sox throughout each of their individual series, providing a unique perspective on the action between the lines. MLB Productions cameras captured the White Sox as they fight for the AL Central crown, and the A's as they tried to make up ground in the AL West while holding on to one of the two Wild Cards.
The episode features compelling in-game audio from A's pitcher Brett Anderson and White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy. Off the field, camera crews followed A's pitcher Travis Blackley as he took in the New York City sights for the first time, and pitcher A.J. Griffin, as he visited the MLB Fan Cave. In addition, this week's episode also includes a profile of White Sox manager Robin Ventura, an interview with White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams, and features on outfielder Alex Rios and first baseman Adam Dunn.
Caught Looking, a new collaboration between Major League Baseball Productions and NBC Sports Group, will follow two different teams each week, as the final eight weeks of the season unfolds. Each original episode will be one hour in length and will air on NBC Sports Network.
On November 8, NBC Sports Network will air a special postseason episode of Caught Looking which will feature the two teams playing in the 2012 World Series.

Action Bronson @ActionBronson
The Queens rapper should have a Rated R stamp on his timeline. Between Action Bronson's tweets about pimping and vulgar insults thrown toward his haters, Bronson is not one to hold his tongue. At least, he knows his hip hop though, giving shout outs to legendary greats like Ghostface Killah and Kool G Rap.

Iron Maiden- Deja-Vu Lyrics
Iron Maiden- Deja-Vu Lyrics
When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places
That you know you've never been before
Can you be sure?
'Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja-vu
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Ever had a conversation
That you realise you've had before
Isn't it strange
Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what's coming next
It feels pre-arranged
'Cause you know that you've heard it before
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal
'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu

Sherrie Lynn Hutchinson (born 17 September 1950) is an English actress, broadcaster and novelist best known for her television roles with ITV.

Since 2003 Hewson has been a regular panellist on ITV chat show Loose Women
Early life[edit]
Born in Nottingham,[2][3] Hewson was brought up in Burton Joyce in a showbusiness family; her father was a singer and her mother was a model. She began performing at the age of six, touring the UK's theatres in revues with her own signature song, "You've Got to Have Heart". She was granted a scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Early career[edit]
Hewson's screen career began in the early 1970s with early television appearances in Z Cars, The Moonstone and Within These Walls. In 1975, she joined the Carry On team for the film Carry On Behind and was subsequently cast in several episodes of the Carry On Laughing television series.
As well as further film roles in The Slipper and the Rose with Richard Chamberlain and Edith Evans and Hanover Street with Harrison Ford, Hewson became a regular fixture on television, most notably as part of a young cast of future stars in Love For Lydia. She also had a brief role in the 1979 Alan Bennett drama Afternoon Off as Erin, the ultimately unworthy object of the protagonist Lee's quest.
In the 1980s, as well as appearances in dramas such as Play for Today, The Sandbaggers, Minder, Juliet Bravo and The Gentle Touch, Hewson's talent for comedy saw her get invited to join Russ Abbot's Madhouse series where she remained an integral part of his team for over ten years, later appearing in The Russ Abbot Show. Other comedy appearances included roles in Home to Roost, Home James!, Never the Twain and Haggard, while she was also a popular foil for various comedians, including Stanley Baxter, Les Dawson, Little and Large, Cannon and Ball and Les Dennis. Her most famous role during this period was as Mary in the popular sitcom In Loving Memory with Thora Hird and Christopher Beeny.
In 1993, Hewson was cast as Maureen Webster in the UK's longest-running soap opera, Coronation Street, the dizzy, accident-prone supermarket assistant. In 1996, Hewson was due to leave the show to film the first series of the BBC's Oh, Doctor Beeching!, reprising her role of May Skinner from the 1995 pilot. Although the part had been written with her in mind, Hewson agreed to sign a new contract at the request of the Coronation Street producers, who had storylines planned for her character, and Julia Deakin took over the role of May. However, in 1997, Coronation Street's new producer Brian Park axed a number of characters, Maureen was among them. Hewson's departing episode was broadcast in October 1997. Hewson's final episode was broadcast in October 1997. In December 2006, she returned as Maureen Webster for two episodes.
Hewson returned to the theatre – appearing in Billy Liar and several pantomimes – and radio, notably as the lead character in a series entitled The Circle. She was also in great demand for light entertainment programmes, and made appearances on Blankety Blank, Noel's House Party and Call My Bluff among others. In 1999, Hewson was cast as Jean in the sitcom Barbara.
In 2001, Hewson joined the cast of another soap opera, as receptionist Virginia Raven in the revival of Crossroads. '.

In 2004, Hewson appeared in a celebrity edition of makeover show 10 Years Younger and underwent cosmetic surgery to her face as well as a hair and fashion overhaul. She revealed that her decision to appear was partially influenced by the breakdown of her 20-year marriage to husband Ken Boyd.
In 2004, Hewson joined the cast of Emmerdale as Lesley Meredith, mother of fishmonger Simon. She departed the show on 27 December 2006.[citation needed]
2007 saw Hewson make a number of non-acting television appearances.

On 19 October 2011, Hewson announced on Loose Women that she and Boyd are now divorced.[1][6] She has professed to having a passion for Thai cuisine which forms an integral part of her diet.[7]
On 7 October 2007, the News of the World revealed that, after over thirty years in show business, Hewson had declared bankruptcy, describing the experience as "humiliating".[citation needed]

VIDEO: Jennifer Love Hewitt & More in Trailer for Film Adaptation of Off-Broadway's JEWTOPIA
A new trailer for JEWTOPIA,based on the Off-Broadway hit, has just debuted. The story focuses on two friends, Adam Lipschitz (Joel David Moore) and his non-Jewish friend Christian (Ivan Sergei), both approaching their 30th birthdays. Gentile Chris is interested in dating a Jewish woman (Jennifer Love Hewitt) because he feels that she will make his life easier by making all of life's decisions for him. Adam wants to date Gentile women because he does not want to be reminded of his roots. The two team up and teach each other how to woo the women of their choice. Check it out below!
Complicating things are their well-meaning but intervening family and friends, played by an all-star cast including Rita Wilson, Tom Arnold, Jon Lovitz, Peter Stormare, Camryn Manheim, and Wendie Malick.
Commented the film's director Bryan Fogel, who also co-wrote the screenplay and the original stage play with Sam Wolfson, "Almost every person that I envisioned for these roles is actually playing the part in the film. We went to Rita Wilson first. She said 'I think this film has the potential to be a new [My Big Fat] Greek Wedding' In that film, you didn't have to be Greek to think, 'That's my family'. Jewtopia is universal like that, too."

Historical Traveler Reviews Acacias Etoile Hotel Paris
Very nice stay at the Hotel Acacias Etoile!!
I've been staying at the Hotel Acacias Etoile in Paris with my husband, and we had a very nice stay there. The hotel is really beautiful, we enjoyed our room, small but so nicely furnished, very charming and quiet, with free wireless internet connection! The staff was always well-meaning and helpful. And we also enjoyed a tremendous location, right next to the Arc de triomphe and the Champs Elysees!
Loved this little hotel
I stayed with my wife in an hotel near the Acacias etoile for the week-end then I came there for 4 days. It was a business stay. I really apreciate this little hotel very clean and confortable. The staff is wonderfull. They speak english, spanish, bresilian, russian and are all very helpfull and friendly. My room wasn't very large but so cute and clean. Free high speed internet in all the rooms. Also, this hotel is very near everything. Metro, shops, mounment like Ac de triomphe and champs elysees.
I will keep a very good remember of this hotel. I will hightly recommand it.
Hotel is nice and comfortable,staff realy helpful.
Location just excellent,2 min from metro,5 min to Arc,8-10 min to Champs-�lys�es.
Rooms a bit small,but club twin,that we stayed ,was nice,even with bath with big french window!
good value for money.
definitely I'll recommend this hotel for everybody!
Cozy and comfortable
I have been to the Hotel Acacias Etoile two times for business.
I really loved the room, well decorated and incredibly clean.
As I had to work during my stays, I really appreciated the free access to internet in the rooms.
Yohan, Lisandro and the rest of the staff were very polite, friendly and spoked fluent English, they were very helpful by providing details directions and making suggestions for restaurants.
It is a pity I never came with my boyfriend because it is a very charming and nice hotel for couples.

Being stolen by staff
From July 20 to 23 me and my girlfriend stayed at the Acacias Etoile in Paris. We returned on the 22nd at 11p.m. to our room and found our suitcase not in the way we have left our room. Our money was hidden under the used laundry but now we realized that 200 Euros were missing. The receptionist was not able to help us and refused to call the police. We organised our complaint at the police on our own. The next morning another receptionist told us that the chief of the hotel was absent and he has talked to the cleaning personal. They refused to have taken the money and so the incident was finished for him. The safe in our room was closed, so we could not use it. Although we know we should insist on a safe I think a little bit more cooperation of the staff would have been helpful. The person who has stolen the money is still working for the hotel.
Great Refuge in the Summer Heat
I stayed at the Acacias for 6 nights this past July. Paris was very hot (but not as hot as Rome), and I was very glad I had booked a place with A/C (which worked well--even by American standards). Overall, it proved to be my most comfortable accommodation during my three weeks in Europe and, located only 2 blocks from the Argentine metro station(itself only 2 blocks from the Arc de Triumphe), very convenient. I averaged about 85 Euros per night and booked the room on Bookings.
The hotel is small (3-5 rooms per floor) but very attractive and well-managed. The desk staff was courteous, helpful, and spoke English. The single room, though small (even smaller than NYC), was immaculate and had a 3/4 bed (between a twin and full-size). Room also included an honor bar/refrigerator, limited cable, and phone.
On two days, I opted for the breakfast (10 Euros), which provided a satisfying start for the day and plenty of coffee. (Note: Coffee comes small and expensive in Paris and is usually not carried in places where you'd most expect it, i.e., the delicious bakeries.) One evening, when I returned with a bottle of white wine, the hotel staff member provided me with a wine bucket AND ICE! (N.B.: There are very few places anywhere in Europe with available ice.) Lots of eateries nearby in this safe and beautiful neighborhood.
Positives: good dollar value; convenient location; very clean and quiet; superb staff; GREAT air conditioning
Negative: very small shower; tiny elevator (really should be used only when transporting heavy luggage)
I stayed here with my girlfriend for 2 nights and i am i have nothing but praise. Very friendly staff, VERY clean rooms and extremely reasonably priced. Location was perfect,very central just 2 mins walk to the arc de triumph. Very happy travellers :-)
Highly Recommend Acacias Etoile
The Acacias Etoile Hotel is located close to the Arc de Triumphe and provides an excellent base for exploring Paris during a short visit. Right beside Argentine Metro station, one stop or a 5 minute walk from Port Maillot bus station it could not be handier for travellers who fly into Beauvais Airport (RyanAir).
The hotel has a fresh, well maintained feel to it compared to many Paris 3 stars and the room, although small, was extremely clean and comfortable.
We did not avail of the breakfasts but there was a well stocked mini bar and the hotel is beside many cafes/takeaways/bars/ate night grocery stores if provisions are required.
The staff were friendly and helpful & more than willing to speak English when required.
Overall would highly recommend this well priced little hotel and we will definitley return there when next visiting Paris.
Very satisfied - High price to value ratio
We stayed at this great hotel in the middle of March 2006. We would definitely recommend this hotel to people traveling to Paris.
- The hotel is located minutes away from Arc de Triomphe. The Argentine metro stop is a quick walk up the street, the RER station to Versailles is about 10 min walk and the RER station to Gare du Nord/Charles de Gualle Airport is about 10 min walk as well. Very convenient.
- Little grocery stores nearby (BTW, when you got out of the Argentine metro stop and walk towards the hotel, do NOT go to the first grocery store on the right - We wanted to get a bottle of water for the night and the shop owner quoted us Euro 1.50. This is not the first time we got water from a grocery store, which normally runs about Euro 0.80-0.90 for a big bottle). Go to the ones after you walk past the hotel.
- Quiet residential neighborhood, at least I felt safe.
- Nice and new decor. I am not sure why the previous comments said the decor was old. I went to 4 different hotels in 4 different countries and I must say this hotel has new and nice decor. Even my mom was very satisfied. Maybe the previous commentor stayed at the building near the garden side? Our room faced the main street instead of the garden.
- Showerhead is strong and perfect.
- Small fridge available in the room.
- Extremely clean room. I am a very picky person when it comes to cleanliness and the room was spotless.
- Great and helpful staff. One time my mom was not feeling well and they provided us with a hot pot where we could make hot water in our room.
- Relatively small room and shower stall. The smallest room for our trip in Europe. But this was not a concern for us since we were out almost 100% during daylight. But if you have big lugguages, then perhaps it maybe too small for you. We only had 2 carry-ons with us.
- Breakfast is not included in our hotel rates. This is fine as there is a very nice pastisserie at the corner near the Argentine metro.
- As in many other European hotels, we needed to bring our own shampoo/conditioner, toothbrush and toothpaste.
- The hotel recommended us a restaurant called Le Galvacher. I must agree that the restaurant had really great food. But when it came to paying tips (services), I asked the waitress if tips were included and she said no. She said the 19% on the bill all went to the government. So I paid 15% extra as tips for that meal.
This tip thing got me confused as I dined at another restaurant and the waitress said it's all included in the 19%. I did my homework beforehand and the guidebook says "ask the waiter." I still couldn't figure it out, even after returning from Europe.
Irregardless, I will go to that restaurant again since the food is awesome and the price is right. You cannot get the same thing in NYC for that price (excluding the 15% of my tip).
All in all, highly recommend staying at this hotel. I will be staying there again for my next trip to Paris.
Nice hotel - staff tips the scales
I chose the Hotel Acacias Etoile mostly because of price and the pictures on the site. Also because our first choice hotel was booked up for the weekend.
First impression in the lobby was that this was a newly renovated hotel and everything was updated. Once we got to our room, however, I'd say I was underwhelmed. I give it a 3.5.
Accommodations: The room was clean, but definitely old. Most of the renovation must have taken place in the common areas (the lobby, dining area). The room just wasn't as fresh - old tv, old telephone, repainted (not for the first time) closet cabinet with a weird stain in the bottom of it. Compared to other places I've stayed at in Europe, it was okay, but I just expected more. On a positive note, again, it was clean, and positively roomy by European standards. It even boasted a mini bar - a convenience I never expected!
The bathroom was roomy, but the shower was a bit dangerous. There was no curtain (not surprising in Europe), but the glass partition used to keep the water contained actually wasn't aligned along the rim of the bathtub, so water still dripped onto the floor. Plus the glass stuck out a bit, and just seemed like an accident waiting to happen. As for the hair dryer - forget it. Again, old, and had no real power to it.
Our room faced a small 'courtyard', and we appeared to be the only ones staying in that part of the hotel, so we heard very little noise.
Location: The hotel is located minutes away from the Arc de Triomphe, and the area has lots of little cafes. Just across from the Arc is the Champs Elys�es, so it's a wonderfully convenient stroll. Lateral cafe is a short walk away, as well, and we enjoyed their food, though the waiter tried to convince us that service was not included in our bill. Another waiter at a different restuarant assured us that service is indeed included on all resturant bills in France. I never got the whole thing figured out, but someone at our hotel assured us that giving a tip wasn't necessary and if you did leave one, 1-2 Euros was plenty. The Argentine metro stop is a quick walk up the street - you pass a wonderful pastisserie on the way, so check it out. A small convenience store was nearby, but the selection was tiny. The area in general is very quiet. The hotel is not very close to Gard du Nord, so if you're catching the Eurostar and plan on taking a cab, make sure to leave plenty of travel time, as traffic can be a nightmare!
Staff: The staff is what made the difference for me. While the hotel itself wasn't anything to write home about, the hotel staff was terrific. Everyone who covered the front desk was more than happy to help with any questions or suggestions. During our stay, they called many cabs for us, did our wake-up calls, and were just a delight in general. On our last day, they let us store our luggage in a small holding area and didn't charge for the convenience; whatever they could do to make your stay more comfortable, they went out of their way to do it.
In general the stay turned out to be quite nice, though I was happy to return to my hotel in London (Quality Crown Hotel Paddington). Again, the staff were outstanding, but I just wish there had been more 'new' in the room.

Paris Alone

We spent the afternoon wandering the tiny streets filled with stalls, cafes, artists etc. Climbed jet more steeps go Sacre Coeure which was beautiful, light and bright in contrast to Notre Same. Finally we took the metro back to the Eiffel Tower for a bit before climbing our five floors of spiral stairs to collapse in our mezzanine floor ...
