It's a bit further than most will like for the sites, but they run shuttles constantly in the direction of the historic sites. And it really isn't a bad walk.
The hotel itself is very well maintained and appointed. The staff is very attentive to the needs of the guests as well. On first glance, the surrounding neighborhood may not look very nice by American standards, but it is completely safe. Make sure you get a room with a view of the Acropolis. Otherwise you might be looking at not so nice buildings.
Each of the restaurants we tried was more than acceptable, with Premier on the roof having excellent service and food, despite a limited menu.
One minor knock, for which I did not deduct a star, is the in house laundry service. A complete and utter ripoff. I could literally just buy new underwear and socks for the cost of laundering each of these items.
