Just had a couple of nights here and it does have an excellent and spectacular location.
No breakfast for platinums (nor welcome gift for me...perhaps they ran out of tomatoes?) but the 'upgrade' was to the SPG floor (7th floor) which does have much bigger balconies than those rooms below so you should always look to be on the 7th floor or higher. Our east facing room 756 was renovated and had a gorgeous view to the both the city and the sea. The balcony had a table and chairs and two sunloungers which you could use for sunbathing until 11.30am when the sun disappears over the roofline, after which you can use the rooftop pool area (at a fee, I believe).
In addition, the hotel is right outside one of the stops for the airport bus (4 Euros single per adult) that goes every 20 minutes at peak times. Couldn't be easier.
We enjoyed our stay a great deal and the staff were mostly fantastic. Just a few very minor things to be be aware of:
1. The exterior of the hotel is appalling, located above a McDonald's and a ghastly casino. You would never guess how nice the property is on the inside from the outside,
2. The buffet breakfast is fantastic (as it should be for 22 Euro/£22/$30) but the hotel is popular with a certain type of guest for whom affluence goes hand in hand with appalling manners. Take a tip from the some of the European women and just barge on in, nobody needs to wait for anyone at this place it seems.
3. No coffee making facilities or glassware or cutlery in the room and there is a 5 Euro/£5/$7.75 charge for coffee on room service which simply made us more determined to stock up at the nearby Monoprix and avoid giving the hotel any more money.
4. No newspaper for Platinums. On the first day the front desk immediately offered to send out for whatever paper I wanted at no charge, which was nice, but the second day they declined to do this.
5. The lady in the room next door had a large labrador dog in her room. The dog was very well behaved and we only heard a little barking but if I had allergies I might be concerned about how well the rooms were cleaned between stays. It wasn't a dedicated 'dog room' ar anything like that.
6. Somewhat bizarrely, we were referred to as Mr and Mrs throughout the stay, even though there was nothing in the booking to indicate marital status or gender. You might think they would correct their mistake after seeing us check in but, no. Fortunately my partner saw the funny side of being repeatedly addressed as "madame" for three days...
Anyway, not a bad property all round and an amazing location.
