Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center
"The room was very nice and modern and the amenities were good. But the room could have been cleaner. On the surface it appeared clean, but my allergies were really bad in the room which means there must have been a lot of dust that wasn't getting regularly cleaned."
