The staff is friendly and professionals. The view of Parthenon from our room was amazing. The only thing that I didn't like is that they let people smoke in their restaurant.

Room was very clean, breakfast was awesome! Staff was very helpful. Especially the young gentleman that helped us January 10th in our arrival in the evening. Sorry, I didn't catch his name. But, he went above and beyond in helping us settle in.

The front desk team was able to help me out with my room check-in request. Big and clean room. The location is in central area and are just a few minutes drive away to the Museums. Great breakfast variety as well, which includes bacon, which is a very plus point to me.
