Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable. Our deal gave us a free breakfast which was very good. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. The location of the Cambria worked well for us. We were able to walk to good restaurants evey night of our stay.

Cons:

The HVAC system was noisy and though we got used to it, the room was not as quiet as we would have liked for sleeping.

Disappointing
Pros:

Great location, big rooms.

Cons:

Staff at check-in weren’t very accommodating - seemed chatting to each other was more important. Really shocking was the cleanliness of the room. A quick glance in the corners and along the bed showed a lot of dirt build up.

Pulito ma non ci tornerei
Pros:

Posizione ottima, in pieno centro, fermata della metro a due passi. Personale comunque gentile. Stanza grande.

Cons:

Soggiorno di due giorni, la stanza NON è stata rifatta. Nessuna amenity in bagno e pochissima luce. Aria condizionata rumorosissima. Tre ascensori ma uno solo funzionante, peraltro la sera all'ultimo piano c'è un locale, e l'ascensore è quindi pienissimo di saliscendi anche di persone esterne all'hotel, con lunghe attese. Finestra con vista sul cavedio e quindi molto scura malgrado fossimo al nono piano.
