"Arrived at hotel after a late night flight. Traveling with a 10 and 12 year old who were hungry. No food options inside hotel for late arrival guests. The following morning, I requested the front desk worker to call us a taxi to take us close to the Eiffel Tower to another hotel we booked for our second day. The clerk immediately started text messaging someone and then stepped away from the counter to speak on a phone call. He returned and told me the taxi would bring us for $85 euro which is insane. I ended up booking with Uber for $45 euro. I took my family and exited the gated hotel facility and waited near the road. Less than a minute after the Uber request, the ride was accepted and the driver approached from inside the hotel complex. Well, I've never claimed to be the most intelligent but I suspect the Uber driver is also the taxi driver working with the front desk worker. Regardless, I suspect the hotel will not endorse this scam-type behavior. Use caution with hotel staff."
