Can anyone recommend a good hotel near CDG airport forthe last night before the trip home?

I don't have personal experience with any of these hotels, but they're the ones recommended most often on the AOL Paris board:

• Novotel Paris Roissy
• Ibis Roissy
• SAS Radisson
• Comfort Inn
• Hilton

Ibis is on the internet and is very reasonable: about $65 night. You can walk from one hotel to the other: all are on the shuttle bus line.
The hotel would probably be listed under
Roissy Charles de Gaulle

We always stay at the Ibis at Roissypole the night before flying. A family room is about €100 or you can take two doubles and pay about a total of €150. That's what we do, as we've got two kids, but like our privacy (and so do the kids!) Be careful NOT to reserve a room in the nearby town of Roissy, which is 10 minutes away from the airport, if that's not what you want, as Roissypole is actually within the airport grounds -- and thus, might actually be a few dollars more expensive. Don't expect anything charming or de luxe; it's plainly institutional and drab, but clean and equipped. It's also just next to the main Metro line which will take you to the heart of Paris, if you have the time.

You can't go wrong with the Hyatt CDG. IF you're looking for a great room for a good nights rest before your trip home, this is worth it. Transportation between the hotel and the airport is via a free shuttle.

Not much French about this hotel, but if all you want is convenience and good meals, this may do.

Good Luck
