9.8/10 Exceptional! (54 reviews)
Enjoyed my stay immensely! There is currently ongoing construction, however that didn’t affect my comings and goings or my sleep at all. Rooms are elegant and just what I needed - the relax/mood lighting was super nice after walking in the sun. Even when the taxi button didn’t work to call a taxi when I was checking out, we worked toward a good solution easily. The 4/5 stars is coming strictly because of the dinner staff at the Olympus which is attached to the hotel. They were insanely rude and one man left and never came back. I do not know if it was shift change or what. I ate about half and just left. No need for refills. And no one mentioned the water is $12. That would’ve been nice to know beforehand - a little deceiving. Be careful at the Olympus.
