I'm actually surprised to hear anything negative about this hotel. I'm merely preferred plus, but the hotel let me check in at 930am (I didn't even ask, I just asked to store my bag until the afternoon), gave me a late checkout. The bedding and furniture seemed new, and the hallway corridor carpet was definitely new. I was given an "upgrade," although that seemed just to be extra floor space in an otherwise normal room...no additional furniture or anything. Not on the SPG floor. Stayed on a 99 euro prepaid (via spg.com) rate.
No complaints whatsoever...great stay, nice folks, clean and well furnished room. Even wi-fi- was only 4.95E a day.
