Wow! The service at Bricks is incredible. My aunt had left her luggage with a hotel luggage service while we traveled to Cappadocia. When we got to Brick's at 11PM at night, we told the folks in the hotel lobby that we were going to go get the luggage, and they said if you're too tired we can arrange someone to pick it up for you. We were so tired, it really saved us time and energy. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was just so kind.
