Thanks for the review - I had meant to put in a few words myself about my stay during the same time frame. We may have been neighbors! Looks like you had the mirror-image suite of what we were given.

I had the same general takeaway as you - a perfectly inoffensive business hotel in a decent location. I enjoyed my time there, and appreciated the fact that they did seem to make an honest effort to take care of elites.

Regarding the lounge, I noticed that there was a serious difference between the weekend and weekdays. Since it's a business hotel, they clearly had their "A team" staffed on the weekdays. I mean these guys were on top of things and carried themselves like wait staff at a top-tier restaurant. I didn't notice too much shenanigans from any of the other guests, which was somewhat surprising since World Cup matches were on in the lounge...

Agree on the very large banitsa - that was actually really the only breakfast item that impressed me. I found myself taking increasingly large pieces each day, to the point of comedy. And also those Bulgarian cherries...I was just longing for them the other day; the fancy organic cherries in season here in the U.S. right now are about $10/kilo and taste like rocks...
