Probably I'm getting spoiled and have too big expectations, but... 1) Terrible rooms. Only positive is that they were clean. Rooms terribly small (and I can imagine I got OKish room as Platinum member - don't wanna think what non-Platinum members get). Outdated design and furniture. Small desk. Dark lighting.

After some of the recent reviews for this hotel I wasn't expecting much, so I found the experience of staying here better than I thought it was going to be. Reception is an attractive area and our twin room was quite large, well equipped, had two large twin beds, and was very clean. I wasn't pleased to have to pay... more
