2. Hotel Monteleone has a large flat screen tv, new King size mattresses, marble bath rooms, elevators and a door man, gourmet restaurant on site, wireless access (I forgot to mention that hell will freeze over before you can get an Internet connection at the Place d'Armes)I could go on and on, but I think you get the gist, both of these hotels are the same price and so it is like comparing a 'Motel 6' to a Ritz Carlton.
