Great hotel
Accommodation great (we got 3 nights for price of 2), breakfasts (including champagne) even better, dinners of a very high standard, especially the fish dishes. Staff very helpful. Location alright, close to metro etc, better still if you head towards the Olympic village to get transport etc.

We had 2 restless nights sleep and avoided spending any time in the room.
The staff at the front desk told us a different story each time we mentioned the temperature of the room. They promised to call a maintenance staff member to fix it and then told us it was hot because we had left the air conditioner off.Then were told it was hot as we had left it on and then because the temperature was set incorrectly.

The hotel is nicely situated near downtown, walking distance, and the convention center (short taxi ride). Restaurants are near by at the Olympic center. Hotel is very nice and the food was fine. A very nice swimming pool on the roof is great for relaxing.
