Paris anyone?

Hi everyone -
My girlfriend and I are planning a long weekend in Paris during mid-January (she is going away to the Peace Corp in February for 2 years so it should be a good send-off ). We are on a budget and trying to find a decent place to stay in the city. Any suggestions on hotels or maybe a good website for info?
Thanks!!

I used these web sites in our trip this past may.
I hope they help.

also pick up Frommers Europe on a Budget (or France on a budget - if they have) - most people don't carry this one around...they use Lets Go - so many of the inexpensive places in Frommers are still available when you get there...most of the ones from Lets Go are booked...although in Feb shouldn't be as bad...

When I went to Paris, I stayed in an apartment... it was really cheap/nice because it had a kitchen... I stayed in Marais... here's the website...

Thank you all!!
I'll definitely check out your suggestions - they are very much appreciated.

Paris is awesome, get ready to eat and shop the entire time you're there. Bc I love Paris so much, we went for my bachlorette party in September. We stayed at the Hotel du Louvre, in the Opera section. It was centrally located and 1/2 block from the Metro stop L'Opera. Double was about $140 including breakfast. The place was clean, the sheets were not 600 thread-count but not thin or old, they had cable tv, phone and internet access also.

I've also stayed at the Comfort Inn in the 16th arrondisment. It is more off the beaten path, off a cobblestone street, 3 blocks from metro but on weekends, the street is lined with a farmer's market.

FYI, all the shops are closed on Sunday, so do all your shopping before then. The flea markets are the only game in town on a Sunday.

Have fun, and don't forget to get a crepe!

Thank you all for the info!!
We have to reschedule our trip - My friend is getting deployed to Uzbekistan (spelling?) earlier than she originally thought but now we are planning a trip there in March for my birthday. I will definitely look into all your suggestions.
Thanks again!
