Olympic Hotel
Clean room and helpful staff! The restaurant has quiet a small menu but that just saves time when ordering, I liked the fact that they have an open kitchen so we can see them chefs working hard. The lobby area seemed small because at our time of staying like everyone else it was because we were stranded ...
