The location suited me well. Many food options were nearby. The gym offered a good workout. Parking was also available.
The hotel lacked a clear sign outside. We passed it twice. Security recognized us, then they helped us find our way. I thought that was odd though friendly.

The staff made this hotel special. They are amazingly cute, kind, helpful, and fun. Alexandros. I even extended my flight to spend more time at the bar. Antonio helped me with my bags and reinis supported me with my reservation.
I booked a superior room, but it was pretty much the same as a standard room. I went to reception, because a superior room looks different on their website photos, more windows and a bit bigger. They couldn't really answer me and said it's pretty much the same.

i booked this hotel because it was available through a hotel program i am in. when i arrived, i noticed it was modern. i had asked for a room near the elevators and it was literally next to them. it is a corner unit and two walls are all glass this is excellent. the bathroom has wash cloths and the toiletries might be the best i have experienced in a hotel.
the location was excellent and close to attractions and restaurants. during my stay, drumming music from the bar did not stop until 1:30 am. others had also complained and i will not stay again.
