I have stayed in both the Presidential Suite, which has a great view, and a normal 1 bedroom suite, and never had a moldy smell.

I’ve pointed out in a number of Hilton threads about staying here for months, for the same points as you’d pay for 3 nights somewhere else. I don’t think booking one week out is necessarily the best idea. They do have busy times, and I’ve run into times with no standard awards, especially close in.

3000 points per night isn’t even the max good deal. Find a promo with 5k points per 4 nights or similar, and you can cut it under 2k per night.

The staff is really great, and this property beats 99% of all US HGI’s. I’ve never stayed at a Hilton in Turkey, so not sure how they compare.
