I REALLY LIKED THE ROOMS, THE BREAKFAST, THE POSITION AND THE KINDNESS OF THE STAFF. I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE 27TH FLOOR WITHOUT DIVISION SMOKING FROM NON-SMOKING. NOT BEING ABLE TO ENJOY THE SPLENDID PANORAMA AND RELAX WITHOUT SUFFERING PASSIVE SMOKE LEFT ME ASTONISHED. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WHOLE GYM, SPA AND POOL AREA IS LOCATED ON THE 27TH FLOOR AND FEELING AND SUFFERING THE SMOKE SEEMS OUT OF PLACE IN A HOTEL SO CAREFUL OF EVERYONE.
