Going with Dave and meeting up with Deats in Istanbul, flying down to Bodrum, then working our way up the coast of Turkey.

Clean, modern, comfortable
Note: This review is for the off-season. My friend and I went in the middle of winter (Late Dec/Early Jan), so rates were incredibly cheap. Basically, less than $30 per person for a really nice (albeit somewhat small) hotel room with comfortable beds and modern decor.

My only minor complaint would be about the shower. There was nothing wrong with the heat or water pressure, but instead of a shower curtain or glass door, there was only a small glass thing on a hinge that extended for half the length of the shower. It didn't do such a great job of blocking the water, so often after a shower half the bathroom floor would be flooded.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They helped us out with directions and making phone calls to rent a car. This could have been because we were literally the only guests there. I don't think I saw any other guests in three days of staying there. There was also free internet on two computers in the lobby, although I'm not sure if it remains free during the peak season.

I can't comment on the amenities, pool, spa or any of the other features because they were all closed down.

Location is actually in Gumbet, not Bodrum. There is a dolmus that departs from near the hotel to Bodrum city center, but at least in the off-season it came only once every hour or so. The walk Bodrum harbor from the hotel took about 30-45 minutes, and the Taxi ride was about ~15 lira.
