"The bar and outdoor terrace were lovely and rooms were clean, though spartan. The lack of coffee in the rooms/on site made mornings less pleasant."

"Over the years, I have always spent my last night in Belgium at the Sheraton. The staff is welcoming and professional, and every aspect of the stay is perfect. My morning departure at Zaventem merely requires walking across the street after having enjoyed a vast continental breakfast. Always a pleasure."
