CLARISSA, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was amazing. The staff were great and provided superb customer service. The only suggestion is the gym was not equipped with heavyweights to conduct my regular training routine. Other than that everything was great.
Said, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I arrived in Barcelona very early in the morning. The hotel staff stored my luggage in a safe, locked location while I toured the city. Later when it was time to check in, the first room they put me in smelled of smoke. When I told them, they immediately relocated me to a different room that did not have any smoky odors. The staff was always pleasant and helpful for my entire stay.
Yvette, 1-night trip
