Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room (5th-6th) for best Eiffel Tower views; lower floors have views blocked by street lamps and buildings
Book a room with a balcony or terrace explicitly—'side view' and 'partial view' rooms require sticking your head out the window
Breakfast is not always included; verify at booking and ask if €17-21/person fee is worth it for your needs
