Wonderful Week in Amsterdam
This is one of the grand dames of Amsterdam. Originally called Hotel American, it has been updated while still keeping the charm of the original. Near the Leidseplein and a number of tram lines, it is close enough to many attractions while avoiding the very busy Central Station area.
The room was spacious with a king bed. Large TV, blutooth speaker, frig and modern bath made for a comfortable stay. Daily service was prompt and thorough. Stayed a week and would return. One small detail that was out of place in an otherwise complete set up was a lack of clock in the bedroom, a given in US hotels.
