Aro Palace Hotel

Not sure how this hotel gets the great star reviews but oh well. I will say that you likely won't find a better location to stay in Brasov, so if you plan to walk the old town, there's no better place to stay. However, the place is horrifyingly run down. The carpeting in all of the hallways was horribly stained and damaged, the paint and walls in all of the common areas was dated and damaged, there was a device that constantly sprayed a type of perfume in the elevator area that smelled terrible and followed you everywhere. Our room was dated and in terrible shape. The bath was not clean, the bed was from the communist area, purchased at a yard sale from the former torture chamber, there were zero electrical outlets near the beds to charge you devices or power up anything. There was only one outlet which was on the other side of the room. I had to purchase an extension chord at a store to power up my cpap and charge my iphone - charge my camera. The whole thing smelled of a cigarette. So, my advice to the hotel would be to please update the hotel. My advice to people is that if you don't care about the niceties of life and being comfortable, you wont find a better location. My advice to Marriott, please buy this location, tear down this building, and build something nice.
