I chose the hotel for the proximity to my clients office but upon arrival I learnt that I was moved to the sister hotel nearby. Frankly speaking the sister hotel was bigger and better. Athens Key is quite a small hotel , and not really suitable as a business hotel , since my colleagues stayed there I had the chance to experience. The business center of the hotel is like a joke. Otherwise it’s a good hotel.
