Reviews and Ratings
Despite the high price, the rooms at the hotel were extremely good in condition and beautifully decorated, offering ample space and a welcoming atmosphere. The service provided was top-notch, with the ground staff going above and beyond to assist, including organizing a shuttle service and providing valuable recommendations. The location was convenient for both business and leisure travelers, being close to the airport and ideal for marathons, though some may find it lacking in friendliness. The dining experience offered a wide range of options but suffered from temperature issues and variability in daily offerings. The facilities at the hotel were also commendable, enhancing the overall stay.
