Stayed one night. Pictures on internet do not paint clear picture of this location. Drinks at bar (draft beer $8.00) and food menu prices are very high, rooms are dirty with spots on the rug and chairs, dirty windows with pigeon stuff on the ledges, no towels at pool and overall poor service from front desk staff. This hotel must of been great years ago, but needs some major fixing up. Overall, the hotel wants to paint a picture as a top quality 4 star European hotel, but it has far to go in my opinion. In the morning, I woke up to find take out menus (Chinese Food and Pizza) under my door and my room was on the 7th floor. Where was the security.
No great shakes for the money, but is close to airport with an early morning shuttle. Will not stay again.
This was the worst part of our trip and a bad ending.
1. When we pulled up - no bellhop in sight, as we made our way through the doors with tons of luggage in tow. The front desk attendant did not acknowledge us at all.
