Thanks for all your help, I tried, rebided, (many times, haha) and ended up to even consider La Defense area... as even $180 didn't work on above areas... hummm maybe the date is not favourable at $100 as others.... anyway, won finally, at $165 Renaissance_Paris_Hotel_La_Defense-Paris for 4 nights and Trip Advisor reviews are quite good - hoped to get either Sofitel or Pullman but now I can take a rest at all! I used PRICELINE link! Many thanks!
