“I’d totally pick Athena over and over again.”
The executive hotel room is incredibly spacious, featuring fresh and clean bedding. What stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff, from the reception team to the restaurant workers and the cleaning crew—they all went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
