The Stanley
Clean room daily and friendly staff. I wish the shower was bigger and I should have asked if two bigger beds were available instead of the twin beds. Location of the hotel was perfect.

President Hotel Athens
Room was clean - still think the experience is marred by the fact the hotel charges for bottled water in the room after the first night … bizarre policy.. never seen that in a decent business hotel
