"Put A Bow On It!"
Walking down the snow burdened streets of my neighborhood the other day, under the heavy fall of a "wintry mix," over deceptively deep slushy puddles and around piles of trash bulked up by discarded Christmas trees and holiday wreaths, I was pleased to spot an eXoticforms Bow proudly displayed off the balcony of a small apartment building. There she was, the weather proof aluminum looking shiny and new, the pleasing design offering some much needed post-holiday warmth and welcome, smiling down on passerby as if to say, "In this household…on this block…in this city, the celebration of life continues long after the glow of sparkling Christmas lights, trees, menorahs and all manner of holiday decorations have faded away."
Needless to say we're proud of our eXoticforms bows, and the 2010 holiday season left much to be upbeat about regarding this creative and modern indoor or outdoor decoration. Largely by word of mouth exposure the sales of our decorative holiday bows multiplied many times over from the prior Christmas season. Even more fulfilling than the fact that the available stock of eXoticforms bows sold completely through days before the most egregious of procrastinators put the finishing touches on their home's holiday display, is that those that purchased the bow as a seasonal decoration, be it Christmas, Hanukah or winter itself, have been filling our inbox with glowing reviews and requests of friends and family interested in purchasing one of their own.
eXoticforms would like to thank everyone for their support of a product that we feel is destined to be included on every list of the most popular holiday decorations 2011. We're already laying the groundwork to make sure that the production of our bows meets the projected demand for next year's holiday season, and looking forward to spotting those beautiful, shiny and unique decorations from more balconies, on doors, hanging from fences and donning Christmas mantles around the city and across the nation. Thanks again, and check back often as we continue to update you on the developments surrounding this simple, elegant decorative bow that's sure to be a popular accent for the 2011 holiday season.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist – new trailer plays the silent treatment
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is under plenty of scrutiny from hardcore fans of the series. The worry that Sam Fisher has lost his 'silent ways'. You'll be happy to know then that the new trailer is solid stealth action, it's after the break.

Abduction is a stealth-based game being built using CryEngine 3
Abduction is a rather interesting looking stealth game in development using the CryEngine 3, and while it seems a bit dark in the literal sense, there's a reason for it. According to the developer entry over on the CryDev forums, Abduction players must use the "coat of the darkness" to maneuver and kill their enemies in the game. Players will be able to use rig rooms, traps, and spying techniques to dispatch their enemies, gain information, and progress. You can have a look at the game's progress through the link, where you'll find plenty of screenshots and a list of fixes and additions in the works. Thanks, RPS.

Deus Ex 3 stealth is "cover-based," not in the shadows
Following the publication of first solid Deus Ex 3 story details yesterday, an Eidos Montreal staffer's added a few more tidbits in a mail to Voodoo Extreme, including confirmation that the light-shadow stealth system from the previous games has been dropped.
Deus Ex 3 is indeed an RPG. It's a hybrid action/RPG just like the first game. There is a skill system where you upgrade your character (Adam) based off experience points you earn and you can do the same thing with weapons. It's a game with a very detailed plot with numerous characters you interact with. The gameplay takes the form of a consequence-driven multi-path, multi-solution approach in a non-linear space.
For stealth, that is another major pillar of gameplay and we do have it. The difference is that it's now cover-based rather than "shadow/light-based" as in the past games.
More through there.

Brookline Furnace Repairs
When you speak of home improvement, you may say furnace. It is a widely used gas appliance which is similar to the characteristics of a fuel box used to ingest cold air in the room, filters it to produce a cleansing effect, raises its temperature according to the setting through a steel heat exchanger, and releases the processed air into the ductwork of your house through a blow motor installed in the device. This is a cycle which normally rotates into your entire house. In this article furnace repairs will be discussed accordingly.
In performing some furnace repairs, a person must first identify what is wrong with the furnace so let us take a look at some of the common problems regarding the furnace followed by the appropriate repair for the said problem. The first problem several people commonly see is when the furnace does not produce heat. Some possible causes are when the thermostat is set low enough to cancel out the production of heat or when the thermostat itself is malfunctioning. A common cause of this problem furthermore is the tripping or blowing down of the circuit breaker controlling the furnace.

I've found that MediaMonkey 2.5x and 3.0rc4 generally autosynch well with the COWON D2 in MTP mode. I use MTP mode because it's the only way to have MM generate binary .pla playlists (i.e., the D2 does not use plain text playlists).
Problems include:
1. All files are recopied on every synch (regardless of using autosynch or Send To...). Happens every time.
2. Playlist .pla files placed on the D2 during a synch are sometimes empty. I'm still testing to determine if a repeatable user scenario exists for this.

The screenshot that best sums up Men of War's complexity. It's not the only game with sheer complexity of course.
Recently, I had been playing Men of War (2009).
Before I bought its license, I had been aware that the game had been noted for having really thick layers of complexity. I am a sucker for complexity though, and I certainly am having fun doing things like having individual soldiers do ammo runs. Of course, this blog post is not merely about Men of War.
Despite what I have just said about complex games, I am aware that the same complexity that amuses some also happens to turn away others. This is what I would like to write about in this blog post.
There are game-makers that are aware that they need to make games that are different from the rest, or have their products dismissed as me-toos or run-of-the-mill. One of the ways that some of them go about achieving this is through stacking layer after layer of gameplay elements to give the player many things to consider. However, this can be a proverbial double-edged sword.
There are considerably many kinds of complex gameplay that turn off some people, but of these, there are three that I believe are the most contentious: a deluge of data, an uncomfortable hybrid of many genres, and complicated perspectives. Some games have a mixture of these.
There are games that just pile information and statistics on the player. 4X strategy games are particularly notable/notorious (depending on your opinion) for doing these. Even in this genre, there are some that are to the Civilizations franchise as Risk is to Snake-&-Ladders, to use an analogy concerning board games.
A good example of this is Hearts of Irons III. As an illustration of this game's complexity, I will include a screenshot of it against one for the latest Civilization game, Brave New World.
Click the above picture to enlarge it and have it boggle your head. (Sorry, if this takes too long to load. I had deliberated over whether to include this picture or not, but I believe that it is a convenient illustration of Hearts of Iron III.)
You probably won't need to click on the above picture to enlarge it.
The Civilizations franchise, especially its fifth iteration, may be somehow easier for more people to like because of its prettiness and streamlining over its predecessors. However, the likes of Hearts of Iron remain unapologetically dense in numbers and letters.
I am not saying that I don't like Hearts of Iron. I have played one or two of them, and I love how they reward long-term planning. Yet, I would also tell you that I have fallen asleep while playing them, and not just a few times. They can be that dull.
Now just imagine how daunting that a game like Hearts of Iron can be to any person that does not happen to already like such meticulously designed games.
That is for the consumer's side of the issue. The issue can also affect game-makers too. As elaboration, I would like to use X-COM: Apocalypse as an example, against its successor, XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
X-COM: Apocalypse was probably a troubled game from the start, according to hindsight by Julian Gollop. From my personal experience with the game, it tried to do many things - but many things were just left incomplete, or just could not be reconciled with the rest of the game.
For example, one of the worst things about the game is that ground vehicles were just hopelessly clumsy and limited in mobility. Furthermore, the game designers did not appear to have considered the likelihood that ground vehicles would be quite terrible against UFOs.
When coupled with complaints by Julian Gollop that the other people who worked on Apocalypse could not comprehend what the programmers are trying to do, one would probably be quite convinced that Apocalypse was too ambitious in its scope of complexity for its own good.
You might just mistake this map of Mega-Primus as a circuit board diagram.
Compared to Apocalypse, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a lot simpler and streamlined in comparison, with far less information and other things for the player to worry about.
Now, I have to disclose an admission here: I still personally consider Apocalypse as the most sophisticated of the X-COM games, and until now I still refuse to drop the hyphen when referring to the franchise. Also, I do happen to sometimes scoff at Enemy Unknown's rather simple gameplay (in my eyes, at least).
Yet, I am also aware that Enemy Unknown did what most of the previous X-COM strategy games just could not do; being more accessible to more people and a lot easier to develop for platforms other than desktop computers, apparently. This is what a consumer product should be like if it hopes to ship properly and sell well.
There had been more than a few games that had been criticized as having identity issues. These games have gameplay that could not be easily considered as belonging to one genre only.
Of course, it has been argued that these games ought to be lauded for doing something that is not often done, especially when they try to cross two seemingly incompatible genres together.
Yet, they would be hard to defend when they could not convince everyone that they particularly excel at whatever they do.
For elaboration, I would mention two game franchises: Jowood's Spellforce and Relic's Dawn of War II. These two can be considered as being on opposing ends of the spectrum of the complexity of genre-hybrids. Both are notable for trying to combine RTS gameplay with RPG ones, yet both are also notable for not being able to be convincingly stellar in showing the best that either genre can offer.
The first Spellforce game can be very difficult to like for fans of base-building RTS games. Its strategy-game aspect can be clumsy, what with its lack of tools to form units into coherent formations, lack of any way to directly control the usage of special abilities by units and its halfway-there implementation of unit production. Its role-playing side is let down by cookie-cutter quests, often linear plot-flow and some other oddities, one of which is shown in the screenshot below.
The player character can waltz into towns with a considerably large and gaudily colored army in tow, yet the townsfolk wouldn't bat an eyelid.
More importantly, the player has to juggle armies and kit out the player character at the same time, while pursuing quest lines and defending bases from monstrous onslaughts. It is not an easy game for people who have problems multi-tasking.
The sequel is much better refined, but by then, the first Spellforce title had convinced some people that genre-hybrids are just too ambitious.
Dawn of War II and its expansions, despite being apparent genre-hybrids, are not considered by everyone as terribly complex. In fact, they are quite simple to grasp for most people, having done away with genre-related tropes like base-building and actually consequential stories for RPGs.
The franchise may be a lot more accessible and a lot less clumsy than the likes of Spellforce, but it also does not portray the strengths of the genres that it belong to. In particular, Dawn of War II and its expansions do not have stories that are memorable to players, which are elements that are important in RPGs.
Dawn of War II's story campaign has vibes of both genres, but borrows only a few elements from each to concoct an experience that followers of Warhammer 40K would find run-of-the-mill.
Much of the issues with genre-hybrid games can be traced back to the game-makers themselves. While they can - and ought to - be praised for following their own visions for the game, the end-product may not necessarily convince everyone that it is a job well-done.
I have to confess here that I am having some trouble coming up with a short phrase to summarize the elaboration that would follow. "Complicated perspectives" is the best that I could come up with, though I would caution here that the phrase "complicated" does not necessarily carry a negative stigma.
With that said, there are perceivably complex games that do not swamp the player with data or require the player to keep in mind gameplay tropes of more than one genre. Instead, they require the player to perceive the gameplay in ways that are far from the mainsteam norm.
Perhaps the most iconic of these is the small and niche subgenre of strategy games that apply the full six degrees of freedom to units. The best example is the Homeworld franchise, followed by Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.
The simplification of the pitch-black void of free-space as a 2-D plane is not to be found in either. You will not get space-ships moving like space amoebae or traditional base-building with a space sci-fi disguise from them.
Instead, the player has to maneuver and direct space ships in all three dimensions. Ships have to rotate so that they can bring most of their weaponry that are mounted across their hulls to bear on the enemy. Attacks can come from any direction. Ships can follow the flow of nebulae to hide themselves from other ships.
Unfortunately, both games can cause vertigo in people that are not used to tracking objects that can move with all six degrees of freedom. Add to this the need to compare the orientation and location of objects relative to other objects in these games' fictional space, that these games are not for everyone is a statement that is difficult to deny.
There are more dazzlingly confusing screenshots than this one for Homeworld 2.
There is another game that I would like to mention here, and it is called Achron. It requires the player to keep in mind concepts such as "grandfather paradoxes" and other chicken-or-egg considerations.
I have yet to play it for reasons that I think are best expressed through including the trailer below in my blog post.
Please click on this if GameSpot is giving you a glitched video-embed.
Now, I had done more than my fair share of save-scumming and save-game divergences, but I find this game daunting, even before having played it. That's coming from me, a person that happens to like games that would give some others headaches or nausea. Then, there are jargons like "meta-time".
I would say here that I used the phrase "closing passages" instead of the usual "conclusions" because I don't believe that the subject matter of complexity in games can be seen through anything other than opinionated proverbial lenses.
Having significant complexity in games is not necessarily a design pitfall. Some people, such as I, actually prefer very complex games. However, this is ultimately just a personal preference. More importantly, it is undeniable that the more complex a game is, the more difficult it is to be accessible to newcomers.
Tutorials and scenarios with gradual learning curves can ease the difficulty of figuring out which does what. Yet, these in turn require the player to have the patience to undergo these lessons, and not everyone can be expected to be that patient.
Personally, I am all for the creation of streamlined games like XCOM: Enemy Unknown, if only to introduce the newer generation of game consumers to their genres that had gone through long figurative sunsets. It is my personal hope that afterwards that they would clamour for more sophisticated and thus more complex follow-ups.

text: I know the WWL isn't everyone's favorite entity (especially 'round here), but they sure do make a fine advert. Not sure if this has already been broached because I wasn't able to find it myself...but what is everyone's favorite Sportscenter commercial? I've always been a fan of their commercials and just the other day saw probably my favorite yet. I couldn't help but to bring it up after seeing this:

What up everyone? First off, I'd like to thank those at MAN sports for allowing me to run a log of their newest protein, PF3.
uploading my intro video of pf3, and my initial taste/mixability review. (going to warn you, it didn't score very good on the mixability category.)
I have two 50 serving tubs, so that's going to give me about 3 servings per day.
Not sure yet if I'll split it up, or take it all at once? thoughts?

Very nice
Par LISA
de BRAMPTON
I love everything about this tank. The fabrication is soft, the neckline isn't too low, the armholes are just right. I ordered both sizes and preferred the plus size as I'm large busted. The regular felt a little too tight.
great, great, great camisole
Par Lorraine
de Frankford, Ontario
I too had been looking for camisoles for a very long time. This one has a great fit, it drapes instead of clinging to my bulges.The large shoulders straps are a God sent... I am heavy set and I do need to wear a bra .. I love the fact that my bra straps do not show with this camiI love this cami so much that I ordered 2 more ,, and I am planning on ordering some more. And I truly wish that Orange fashion will keep on bringing these to us. If they could do so in more colors .. I would be in heaven.
Fit Great
Par Rose
de Alberta
Really nice. Don't be afraid to order the plus size if you are large to xlarge; fit me well. Washed in cold water on delicate cycle and hung to dry with no problem. Great price.

Orange knit camisole
Par Ginger
de Middleton, NS
Very comfortable. Despite it being shade off my other greys it goes well w/them. Also wear it back to front.
Nice Camisole
Par Elle
de Ottawa,On.
I bought this Camisole for my daughter in white a long time ago and the sweater to match.She loved it so I got the purple sweater when they had that and I got her the taupe one and the cami to match for Christmas
plus size at last
Par Kath
de Burlington Ont.
have been looking for cami for ages this one is high enough in neck,soft to touchbought two love themi wear them under jackets
Great Cami
Par B.A.
de ALLISTON
Ordered this cami to go with the cardigan in taupe. Love the softness and fit of this cami (see my review of the cardigan). I did find the cami to be a slightly lighter colour than the cardigan though, despite the fact that it seems to be an exact match in the on-line pics. Still, it's a very comfortable piece and, paired with the cardigan, makes a really nice set.

Terrible!! My family and I ate there two days ago and the food was old and dry. Everything was cold and and rubbery. The day after we dined there, my daughter and I got sick.
Praise the Lord, and pass the pepto
The food might have been alright if it wasn't for the bug crawling through it. Tried to complain and the female manager/owner yelled and me and was incredibly rude. I wont ever set foot in that place again.
Heard good things about King's Chef and decided to pay a visit the other night. Had a burrito that was insanely bad. Overcooked eggs, burnt potatoes and spongy oily meat. It was truly fucking disgusting. 2 bites was all I could take. I told the waitress how bad it was and she "well, that's too fucking bad, huh?" Really? This is how staff speaks to customers?? This place truly does suck. It sucks in the worst way and I will never be back. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED.
the best seafood in town is at Bonefish...the menu on this place's bad website isn't even tempting...and no lobster roll is listed.
Who wrote this review? Did they even go to the restaurant?
Absolutely terrible, ordered tacos and quesadillas over the phone, waiter said "see you in 5 minutes" and hung up without giving me my total. Got there and my food was already waiting on the counter, staff seemed friendly enough I even left a 25% tip. got home (6-7 mins later) tacos were so soggy that they fell apart, looked like they were reheated in microwave, and tasted horrible, and not only were the quesadillas soggy, I asked for plain and they gave me regular, and chicken was lowest grade I've ever seen, similar to the tasteless pink chunks you get in off brand chicken noodle soup. We tried to eat it, but it tasted too bad. Taco bell is 10 times better than this garbage and that is saying a lot.
Too bad you have to share your food with all the flies...
AWFUL! The service was terrible, our server was more concerned with finding a cell phone charger and chatting with other servers than doing her job. We never received the cornbread we wanted as they were out of it (at 5 on a Friday) and then were given terrible hush puppies as a replacement that we did not want. The sausage platter was WAY too spicy, I'm sure that was to hid the tough, overly fatty sausage. The pulled pork was tasteless, very fatty and gritty, and cold. Both my husband and I had food poisoning from eating there. I have found that others had the same experience. I don't know how anyone feels they are having a good experience here unless you are drunk when you arrive. (You'd have to be drunk before you arrive as the server will NEVER come back to see if you want another drink once you've ordered one.)
This place is the last place I would go for ice cream. Everything behind the glass counter looks past it's expiration date.
That's not as bad as the flavors...they mix two good flavors, like butter pecan with Oreo cookies...yuk.
It costs an extra dollar to put your four dollar single scoop into a cone instead of a cup with a small plastic spoon.
Interestingly, if you watch folks coming in, more folks check the scene and leave without ordering, than actually order and leave with a cup or come.
My family and I used to love eating here regularly for the past 10 years under several new owners, love the food, however the most recent new owners were EXTREMELY disrespectful and rude to me and my entire family. We are RETIRED military, therefore did not get the 10% off, but pulled out our cell phone to check in on facebook for the 10% discount instead...not only did we not get the 10% discount, but one of the new owners said we were annoying him! Very unprofessional....will NOT be eating here again until new owners take over this place.
Love their pizza but BEWARE, their location on North Academy has closed, it still takes phone calls but they are redirected to their Powers location, which THEY DO NOT TELL YOU, and you end up DRIVING AN HOUR to get the pizza. Will never be their customer again!
One of the worst bars or restaurants in Colorado Springs hands down. It's like The Golden Cue (in terms of potential violence of death) except 10 times (which makes for a harder time escaping) smaller with way less people (meaning you'll most likely see your killer coming.)
How do I dislike thee, let me count the ways. The loud colors, the interior and exterior doesn't look bad, but the music was weak, there wasn't a bartender behind the bar, they were playing pool about 10 ft away- had to wait for them to get my order in. I thought this place was owned by authentic Jamaican owner(s) but judging from the music, not! Is it roomy, heck no. I've seen bedrooms bigger than this place. There's a dart board, a pool table, and about 10 tables and chairs. That's it, you've just seen the entire place. Not even going to get into the food. Let's just say I've had far better food from the taco truck on airport rd in the evenings.
Just another lame (and futile) attempt in Colorado at mixing several Louisiana culinary cultures that seem completely misunderstood outside of the New Orleans metro area, in Acadiana centered around Lafayette, or in North Louisiana above Alexandria. Whenever you read of a Colorado restaurant specializing in "New Orleans Cajun Cuisine," you do not have to even leave home, much less waste money on a meal that will be unsatisfactory. This is because some ignorant (or fraudulent) proprietor is attempting to mix two or more completely unrelated culinary cultures that seldom come together, even in Louisiana. The difference is that New Orleans cuisine is not Cajun, and is instead more French, Creole, or even Italian in nature. Some of the crap found at "Nawlins," (a stupid phonetic way that local Louisianaians pronounce New Orleans) would never be found in any Orleans or Jefferson Parish restaurant. Conversely, such New Orleans specialties as the Muffuletta (Italian), beignets, and some forms of rice beans and rice would be rare or nonexistent in Acadiana, which is Cajun Country in Southwest Louisiana west of the Mississippi River and mostly south of Opelousas. Other "Cajun specialities" offered at "Nawlins" are nether Cajun nor Creole; rather, they are derived from the Black soul food tradition, which is indigenious to North Louisiana and other Southern states.
It completely baffles me why local proprietors do not adhere to three basic rules: select one Louisiana culinary culture, keep the menu short and simple, and be absolutely obsessive about authentic preparation and flavor as it is produced in Louisiana.
As it now stands, Nawlins will never survive the Colorado Springs "five year rule;" namely, the place will be out of business in 60 months or less.
I agree w/ the above ratings, The Barnes location recently re-opened due to a kitchen fire, and since then, the pizza bites. I once loved them especially when I requested they over cook it by 5 mins, making the outside crust dark and crispy, but Yuck to them now. They should have tried to save the seasoned oven, the new one does nothing for the taste. JMHO.
Used to be but now isn't...customers are merely an aggravation to the employees, they could care less about the food theynserve you, and are just basically rude and careless... You have to beg to be waited on, remind them your order is up, and go back to get your own water and bread refills.
Awful...had to take my pizza back and cook it myself
If I could possibly rate them lower, believe me, I would. You know, for New York style pizza, they used to be alright. They also used to have tolerable prices. But, I made the mistake of listening to my loving wife and ordered 2 pizzas from them last night. A cheese and their Chicken Hot Wing pizza. Just the Chicken one was $20 alone!!!!! And believe me when I say that it wasn't worth it... It was thinner than paper. Barely any toppings and the crust was so dense that I had to take a break because my jaw was tired. It was ridiculous. They charge $14 for just a cheese pizza!!!!! Come on!!!!!! Then to top it off, gouge me with a $2.50 for delivery? Man..... I wish I could roll back time and make a better decision.
DO NOT ORDER HERE!!!! Go with Blackjack Pizza. They have changed so dramatically that I am amazed. Great flavor, super prices, and I always have plenty of leftovers. We had none with Borriello's paper thin pizza.

Unfortunately I must agree with Mr. Collins. We ate at this restaurant last week and had a very negative experience. The waiter did not seem to know how to serve plates or clear a table; he did not know the menu at all; he seemed quite confused about what we had ordered and served us the wrong things twice during our meal. The owner/manager stopped by and we explained what had happened. She became very upset, raised her voice, walked off in the middle of the conversation and sent us our check. Most of what occured I ascribe to poor management. The staff should be trained and informed on the menu before they serve customers. This is the responsibility of the owner/manager. She was beyond rude and dismissive, which seems to be a personality problem. We will not return.
food was less then average. I could have had a better tasting, tenderer tender steak sandwich. that was this year 1/30/2012. The week before that my friend and I both got raw rice with our meal with no comp or cooked rice. I think subway would have been a better meal. But their servers were awesome.

"Everything you would want"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
What a lovely Hotel, yes the rooms are small but adequate. We had everything we needed. Pity that Breakfast is not included, as we didn't bother with it as it was a little too much for what I eat. Location was great for walking to the Tower although a little further than we thought but still good. There are a number of small restuarants nearby, including a Macca's. We only had two nights there this time but wouldn't hesitate to stay again next time as we found it quite central. We were going to take the Metro to Nord and then to Charles de Galle Airport but found the Paris Shuttle service so much more convenient picking us up at the hotel and taking us directly to the Airport without having to change trains etc.
"The perfect choice!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 21, 2013
We spent 2 weeks at La Perle from late Dec 12 to Jan 13 and found it to be the perfect location. Walking distance to many restaurants, Metro, shopping etc etc. in the St-Germain-des-Pres area. Staff were very accommodating and sincere - English widely spoken. It was recommended by other friends who had stayed there the year before. Obviously the standard had been kept up. Highly recommended.
"walked eveywere"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 19, 2013
hotel room very small, not like the pics on the web site
"Above average in Paris"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 17, 2013
Excellent location right next to metro in good neighbourhood. Overpriced, but this is Paris. Great service, just small rooms.
"Seven Days in Paris"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 17, 2013
A fantastic boutique hotel in the centre of Paris and close to all tourist attractions, shopping, restaurants, bars. The hotel staff are very friendly, speak english and are so helpful. They made our trip to Paris very enjoyable. The themed room was a unique experience, our little apartment. We had the Loius XIV or blue room, an interesting escape from normal, spacious, clean, warm and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Paris. Highly recommended !!!

South of the Latin Quarter, this residential and commercial district contains the evocative cafés and brasseries of the Lost Generation near Place Vavin and Montparnasse Cemetery. Attractions include the Catacombs, Parc Montsouris, the Cité Universitaire and a clutch of little art museums. The discount fashion stores of Rue d'Alésia and Vanves flea market attract bargain-hunters. There are good bus and train links to Orly Airport.
see all hotels in Paris"Lovely"
Lovely staff and hotel. Was a great place to stay everyone very nice and good location near MetroGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good option"
Great boutique hotel base for business or leisure (change at Montparnasse metro has a bit of a walk bit not so much). Neighbourhood has a nice vibe - Rue Raymond Losserand has lots of bakeries and places to eat. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are not the biggest but are done our really well, contemporary and comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok hotel"
This hotel was decent for a three day stay. The room was TINY! My one disappointment is that there was no separation between the sleeping area and the bathroom. You can quite literally see someone using the washroom. Would have liked the washroom separated off with real walls instead of glass.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasant place in Montparnasse"
Fred is a well-run and welcoming small hotel in Morntparnasse. Excellent breakfast available.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Clean room and well supplied.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, helpful staff"
Fantastic little hotel, convenient to the metro . Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a n excellent weekend in Paris and made more enjoyable by staying in this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hard to fault"
Good location, a few stops far out from center of Paris. The hotel is comfortable. The wi fi in the room was not very stable during my stay but is available in the lobby area. Breakfast is buffet style and all you can eat. Staff are helpful and friendly. There are many good bistro nearby worth a visit or two. Will stay again if I ever get a chance to […] visit Paris again. They even provided shower caps, shampoo, body wash and body cream in the room. But no comb or slippers or kettle ( that is normal for Paris).. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
Nice hotel in a great location. It's not very close to the main sites, but you are only steps aways from the metro and some good restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here, but I would say that breakfast is way over priced. 12 Euro for a typical European breakfast of meat, cheese and bread.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice hotel, worth another visit"
Fred hotel is within 5 mins walk from the metro. Room is clean and the bed is comfortable . Room Wi fi was not stable during my stay but is free in the lobby area. Breakfast is buffet syle with a good choice of meat, bread, drinks and self cooked eggs. Staff are friendly and most helpful in answering queries, booking cabs and restaurant. Many good bistro […] nearby served really good French food. Except for the location, being a little bit south, hard to fault. Good back garden for al fresco smokers. Will come again. Thank you. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location."
Had an enjoyable stay here,OK the rooms are small but very modern.We did not get a queen bed with our superior room,but they changed us to a larger bedroom,with a queen bed,when one became available.Don't worry about breakfasts,lots of places nearby,no coffee facilities in rooms but we had orange juice ,fruit and pastrys for breakfast,plenty of choice […] just round the corner for 4.50 euro for two. Wide choice of restaurants too,all nearby.Metro is a short walk away,nice to be slightly out of the City,we found the best deal was a pack of 10 metro tickets.Overall we were very pleased with Fred Hotel and would stay here again. Transfer tip,use Super Shuttle,£70 return for two,door to door,excellent service. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Decent hotel but still needs work."
I spent 4 nights at Fred Hotel with my girlfriend and quite honestly I was not impressed too much. I was fine with the size of the room, a bit small like most Paris hotels, but certainly did not bother me. My main complaint was the way the room was designed. The bathroom was very small, separated from the rest of the bedroom by a thin blurry glass. […] The glass door would slam every time I left the bathroom, causing an ear-aching crash. They should really put a piece of rubber or something to avoid the slamming noise. More annoying was how the shower was right next to the toilet but no door to separate the two. So when you would take a shower, it would leave the toilet and pretty much the whole bathroom soaked with water. Again, it was a poor design choice. The thin glass separating the bathroom and the rest of the room also made it very easy to hear everything going inside the bathroom. That can be a problem for some who may want more privacy, others may not care. There are also only 2 English channels on the television and the WIFI is really weak, almost useless. The staff was nice enough and helped me find my way to the airport, so they get some points for that. Overall, it is not a bad hotel, but I would certainly not go back or recommend it too much. Neighborhood is not touristy at all, which I found very pleasing. I hope this review helps for many of you travelers. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Parisian charm and large bedroom"
I liked this hotel a lot. The décor and furnishings are modern and tasteful. Unlike the typical Parisian hotel, the room was very spacious. I was travelling solo so I didn't mind the glass door on the bathroom that some other reviewers described. There was WiFi in the room and the bed was very comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to the metro"
The hotel is very small and compact but that's not a bad thing. Loved the decor in the rooms. It's very close to the metro so effect to get around Paris. Would recommend and stay againGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel - super staff!"
Fred Hotel is a modern boutique style hotel. The rooms are lovely, stylish, clean and (for the deluxe rooms at least) pretty spacious by Paris standards! The staff are particularly great - super helpful and friendly, really making us feel welcome and doing everything they could to help. The hotel is in the 14th arrondissement in an area that a little […] far from the sights, but the metro is very near so you can easily get to wherever you need to. Highly recommended for a short visit to Paris! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice people and room, ask for view"
Very friendly, comfortable room and great bathroom. We were on ground floor with no view, I suppose someone had to beGenuine Expedia guest review
"A little gem"
This is a lovely hotel and I would stay here again but if you like your bedroom to be spacious, I would look elsewhere - particularly in regard to the shower - I am 5ft 7in tall, medium build (ho!ho!) and it was cosy in there. The major plus point for me is the staff. My wife had her handbag stolen one evening and after having no luck at the police […] station we arrived back at the hotel feeling rather dispirited. The gentleman at the front desk was kindness personified and I can't thank him enough. One further suggestion - if you are having breakfast at the hotel, treat it as if you are at home. The breakfast staff flit in and out so you may be left to your own devices somewhat. This is not a criticism just an observation. Considering this is Paris, the continental breakfast (if you want a cooked breakfast look elsewhere) was good value at 12 euros. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location for Paris attractions"
The staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stayGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great family hotel"
We travelled as a family of 2 adults and a 13 year old. The hotel is in a nice quiet street. It is also very close to the main street which gives access to many shops and places to eat. Also very close to 2 metro stations. The hotel is very quite and the staff are really helpfull. The rooms are well kept and stylish with a daily room service. We really […] enjoyed our stay here. One minor irritation was the bathroom. The toilet is so close to the sink you struggle to sit on it properly. Also the shower head has been fitted 3/4 along the bath so you have to partly stand on the raised end of the tub which was not easy. It feels as though every aspect of the bathroom has been squeezed in. As i said a minor irratation but it would not put us off using the hotel again Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Highly recommended - would stay again"
Excellent hotel. The air conditioning was wonderful as the weather was really hot. Breakfast was well worth having with plenty of choice e.g. Pastries, fresh fruit, eggs, bread/toast, cooked meats, yoghurts, juice & hot drinks. Staff friendly and helpful. Room cleaned daily. Bed very comfortable. Stairwells a bit dark and dingy but not a problem. Good […] location on a quiet side street midway between 2 metro stations (line 13). A good selection of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Supermarket on the corner of the street and a fresh fruit and veg market on Sunday morning at the other end of the street (turn left out of the hotel). Highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel for anyone lucky enough to visit Paris"
An outstanding service, wonderful staff and excellent services, couldn't rate the hotel highly enough. Intimate and friendly with a personal touch.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A weeks vacation in Paris"
My daughter and I stayed at the Fred hotel at the beginning of July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very close to the metro, grocery and bakeries. The only thing I had a problem with was housekeeping. I had to call the front desk at least 3 times for miscellaneous items that were not replaced by housekeeping. But other than that- we would most definitely […] stay here again!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Small-ish but excellent clean, modern rooms. Friendly staff. Wifi good (helps as no international channels on TV). Very near metro. Only down-side was breakfast as extra, which should really be included (there's are good places for coffee and morning breakfast goods in Rue Raymond Looserand, which has a nice vibe). There are cheaper hotels in the area […] but if booked or you like to have more of a designer feel, go with this place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Sylvio, the concierge at night, was incredibly helpful, as was the woman who greeted us the afternoon we arrived. Both made every effort to give us the perfect neighborhood restaurant reservations, and gave us superb advice. The hotel was situated in a wonderful area of Montparnasse, close to our car rental, and near a Metro, so for our last night in […] France, it made a perfect stop to get to the airport early the next morning. The room itself is on the small side, but chic and fun, so for a night's perch in Paris it was just right. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great area in Paris!!"
Excellent hotel, very close to the metro, cafes all around and the staff very friendlyGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to metro"
We were pleased with our room and stay. Room was clean. 12 euro continental breakfast was decent and worth it for the added convenience. My only complaint was I asked for a cab that accepted a credit card as I was short 20 euro for the cab ride to the airport and didn't want to w/d $ for 20 and incur fees and the cab at 4am refused my card and at that […] point I was stuck. Didn't appreciate that. If I hadn't requested such it would have been my fault but I thought I had addressed the issue. Cabbie kept meter running while I found an ATM at the airport. That ended up being his tip. I normally would add over but this time did not. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent stay"
The hotel was fine. The big draw is the decor which is modern and stylish. Positive: friendly staff, decent neighborhood not too far from the major tourist attractions, comfortable room. Negative: the bathroom was a bit cramped and we couldn't get an extra pillow as requested. Would recommend if the price is right.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice, but felt unsure about a few things"
The hotel was nice, the staff was very friendly, rooms were clean. Location was very close to metro, but somewhat far from most of the places we wanted to visit (the distance was no big deal though). I had two real issues. One was that the safe in the room was not bolted down. But more importantly. You dot hold on to the key to your room. You give them […] te key everytime you leave (no big deal) but when you come back, all you have to do is say your room number and they give you the key. No questions asked, not even your last name, and we know that they didn't always recognize us because it was almost always someone different at the desk. This made me a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, not a bad stay for the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Room ."
Everything was good, no complains. Great personal !Genuine Expedia guest review
"A great choice"
Lovely boutique hotel with fresh and modern decor. Great location near metro and in the heart of Monparnasse. I truly enjoyed the little cheese shop and boulangeries nearby. Near supermarket.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A Boutique Hotel in Parisian Neighborhood"
Hotel Fred is a boutique hotel located in a truly Paris neighborhood. The staff is very professional and very helpful The room is small but done in good taste with optimum use of space-built in furniture and clever use of mirrors and lighting. The rooms are extremely clean. The bathrooms have modern fixtures and the water is wonderfully warm. The lobby […] is comfortable with a modern, simplistic décor and modern lighting fixtures that add to the space. Books and magazines are provided so one can read in the lobby where there is a fireplace for the winter months. There is a small outdoor patio for the warmer days. The eating space is efficient and comfortable. It is immaculately maintained. The breakfast is good and well presented. The coffee is excellent and there is an espresso machine for use throughout the day. It is an excellent find. I had my best dinners at two restaurants within 2 blocks of the hotel. The Metro is 2 blocks away and central Paris is 4 stops on the Metro. You are living among the Parisians, not in a touristy area of the city. There are fruit stands, chocolate and bakery shops and cafes that so add to one's experience in Paris. You spend your time with Parisians when you are in this area. This hotel allowed me a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A perfect stay in Paris :)"
Fantastic hotel! My boyfriend and I stayed here Tuesday-Friday. It was our first visit to Paris and so we weren't really sure where the hotel was in comparison to any attractions. It was extremely close, 3/4 mins on the metro that was across the road. The trains and metros are the best way to explore the city. We got the RER train and metro from CDG […] (couple of changes) to Plaisance- the nearest metro, no problem at all. The hotel was gorgeous, great price we paid. Lovely boutique style, just perfect for a few days. We didn't have the 12 euro breakfast as there are some amazing patisseries on the main street that we grabbed croissants from every morning on the way to the metro. The rooms are very clean an have everything you need, including a small balcony. The staff were extremely friendly and were always happy to help. It was no problem at all to leave our bags there on the final day as we had a late flight. We ate at a few restaurants on the main street including a AMAZING Chinese half way up the street on the same side. Also, if you're 25 or under have your driving licence or passport with you when you go to museums as you get in for free without queuing at the main ticket area- massive bonus! Overall we had a fantastic trip and I loved going back to our lovely hotel at the end of a long day walking around the city. We would return to the same hotel without a doubt! Perfect stay :) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Ideal for visitors"
Staff were always pleasant and helpful. The economy double room is small but was clean and well laid out.Genuine Expedia guest review
"First trip to Paris, a comforting one."
As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a friendly face as well as accommodating. The entire hotel staff spoke english, however, we did try to reciprocate with french as well. Although the hotel and rooms are small, it's beautifully kept and decorated tastefully. The staff was always available to address any needs or concerns. Very helpful in planning […] our daily excursions too. I did not like the fact that we had to leave the key to our room at the desk every time we left the hotel. As a matter of fact, one day my daughter and I had returned early from our daily excursion and while we were relaxing we heard our room door opening. The woman quickly exited with an apology. Im sure this can happen at any other hotel since help has to tidy the room everyday, although I'm still unclear as to why she was entering our room since it had already been made up for the day. Other than that, our stay was pleasant and we had easy access to metro station and shopping. Although I have nothing to compare it to since this was our first trip to Paris, I would definitely consider returning. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"not for familys"

"A great little find!"
Great little hotel, especially for the price! 5 minutes walk from Pleisance Metro station giving you great access to the city. Rooms are a bit small but you expect that in Paris. Breakfast not really worth €12, especially with the quality of the city's patisseries. All in all, a great hotel, with superb staff!Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great little hotel"
Enjoyed our stay in this small and friendly hotel. All the staff were excellent and spoke good English.

More bars and shops are a 15 minute walk away around the Montparnasse station area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had a wonderful stay at Fred Hotel. The staff was friendly, and very helpful.

This was our first hotel stay in Europe on our 3 week vacation and at the end of our vacation we felt that Fred Hotel was our […] favorite. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The location is not central, however, it's not inconvenient at all. In fact, we loved being away from touristy location. The local restaurants near the hotel were exactly what we are looking for. They are not like touristy restaurants by eiffel tower. The hotel room is small but well designed and we never felt uncomfortable. The hotel staff were all […] nice. The restaurant recommendation was perfect too!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Fred hotel was in a good location not too far from the main attractions, staff were so friendly and helpful and it was clean and VERY modern. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in Paris.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just right for us"
When I got the chance to tack a few vacation days on to the end of my first business trip to France, I did lots of online research before choosing a hotel. The price for Fred Hotel was within my budget, the location within easy reach of the hotel I stayed in while on business, and the reviews were excellent. Still, I was worried. But my concerns were […] unfounded. The staff were warm, friendly, and both tolerant of my limited French and quite willing to speak in English. The room was tiny by US standards, but well-appointed and immaculate. My husband - a frequent business traveler-- joined me for several days and said that he often found himself in smaller rooms on business trips in Germany. And there was free Wifi, too! Fred Hotel is located in a diverse neighborhood. There is a Monoprix grocery/department store just a half block away, along with stores offering fresh produce, baked goods, wine, chocolates, and meats all within a block or two. There were Italian, Asian, and Turkish restaurants on the 1.5 block walk to Plaisance metro station, as well as bistros and cafes in every direction. There was a well-stocked pharmacy near the metro station, which came in very handy for treating the blisters I developed from all the walking we did! Take note that breakfast is not always included. -- we had some confusion over that. Otherwise, not a sour note to our stay in this lovely little hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Find in Paris"
Wonderful hotel outside the center of Paris. Very modern, clean and chic with very attractive rooms. Even the bathroom was extremely modern and attractive with stone walls in the shower. The entire room was very inviting, although small, but still very comfortable. I've traveled a lot in Europe and I would give the Fred Hotel my highest recommendation […] for the money. It was two blocks from the metro and in a residential neighborhood which for me was a great attraction as opposed to being in a highly trafficked tourist area. You really got to see how the Parisians live and eat in this wonderful neighborhood. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very good but with qualifications"
We loved the neighborhood in that it was a 'real' Paris area with almost no tourists (like ourselves) and yet it felt very safe and quite convenient via the Metro. Also the room was quite clean and the staff were extraordinarily nice & spoke English. On the downside, we were in two different rooms during our three day stay (we booked an extra day separately) […] and couldn't get the heat/air to work in either room. Fortunately, the evening was cool and opening the window served nicely, albeit, at the cost of some street noise. Although we booked and paid for a "superior" room for all three nights, they didn't have a "superior" room for the third night and the smaller size was noticeable because even the "superior" room was very small. We booked and paid for a "king sized bed", however in neither room was the bed anything close to king sized. Their explanation was that 'this IS a French king sized bed'. I wish I'd had a measuring tape so I could provide the exact measurements but just guessing I'd say that the "superior" room bed was just a little smaller than an American queen, whereas in the "classic" room it was the size of an American double (or full). To compensate us for not providing the "superior" room (that we'd already paid for) on the last night they offered up a free breakfast. This turned out OK. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great calm location, great staff ! Recommended!"
First time in France. Had the greatest service ! Friendly staff 24/7 ! Rooms are rather small in comparison with North American standard room size. Good for one or two person (for our room anyway). Located in a not to busy street (for a good sleep) and one block of the Metro stop (named Plaisance). By the way, the metro system is very very easy to use […] and extremely well designed, marked and operated. Highly recommended ! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A Great Find in Paris"
A Good choice for a stay in Paris at a hotel that is in a real neighbourhood with typicalo French shops and eating places round about it. Close to two metro stations with easy access to all of the attractions by metro. The hotel itself is modern, well equiped and the staff friendly and helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel for one to three people"
We had a "deluxe" room for three occupants. I was a little tight. The staff was very friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review
