Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent
"Personnel at the bar at the lower level were not interacting with the customers at all. You could sit at the bar with an empty glass for 15 - 20 minutes and the never ask if you wanted another one. I had to ask every time! The bar on the higher floor is much much better"
