Thumbs up!
Nobody?
Well I took a chance and booked a stay anyway. I've been here for 3 days, checking out tonight. The hotel totally completely exceeded my expectations. Any concerns I had from reading TripAdvisor reviews about inexperienced staff etc (because the hotel is new) were unfounded.
The hotel is about 2 levels nicer than what I would have expected from Courtyard in the US. It has two good restaurants, conference room/business center, nice decor, etc etc. Great staff, nice rooms, excellent shower.
If I force myself to come up with negatives about this hotel, I'd say that the air conditioning in the gym should have been turned down about 10 degrees, and that they need to get the shopping arcade up and running. There's nowhere to buy souvenirs or gifts, just one shop that has mostly random imported foods like olive oil and cookies, and a few coffee table books.
If anyone has questions or wants to know anything specific, private message me.
