I am not sure this even qualifies as a three-star. First, the entire hotel, save the small banquet room section renovated after the terrorist blast a few years ago, is seedy and reeks of cheap air freshener. The sheets are so worn they are rough and nubby-on the up side, it may be a cheap alternative to spa exfoliation. Since the tour program booked us in this as a four-to-five star hotel, we had no choice to change, but I did upgrade. Again, stinky room, worn furnishings, cheap sheets, hard beds, lumpy pillows, broken window. One and one-half restaurants--although we only saw 20 people in the "restaurant" we were informed there were too many people for the restaurant to honor their menu and instead there was a buffet, or a small snacky menu at the bar. Turns out it's the same buffet left over from breakfast and lunch--hence a positively nightmarish experience with food poisoning, which ruined several tour days for me. On the up side,I lost four pounds, but it was a painful experience. Despite the "royal " suite upgrade, there were no amenities as promised-no exec lounge, no libations, zip, except a bigger room and bigger bill. Hotel also advertised drink specials which were not honored and an early continental breakfast and wake up call, which also never happened. If this hotel ever had four stars, I suspect it was because someone swatted a fly or two in a serendipitous spot.
