Comments: This suite was a throwback to the 1950s. TBH, the hotel could use a Marshall Plan of sorts from Starwood. I don't know why I chose to return here.

Comments: Currently staying here on my first visit to Romania. Excellent renovation of the former Howard Johnson, location is a little out of the way but perfect for the walkers out there, wonderful staff and an awesome club lounge with sushi and a very, very generous and extended happy hour. Will report more back in the main thread soon.
