I also got bored fast at the spa and realized that was an amenity I didn't need.
I now pick hotels in Athens that are smaller, boutique where I know at booking the exact room I am getting.
Yes, but this is our first trip to Athens and we really want to stay at this iconic hotel. Also- we will see if our new Ambassador can help work a little magic. So far I have been very pleased with her.
I will definitely post a review of the GB when we return.
