“Nice staff, and clean rooms, but the huge variation in cab prices was frustrating.”

Bellman offered to call cabs for you but they were actually private drivers. Although they were nicer vehicles, they were more expensive than just calling a yellow taxi by yourself that drove by. Sometimes the difference in price was $15.00 or $20.00. It was much cheaper to walk away from the hotel and get a price from a yellow taxi driving by.
Breakfast was very good. Great location. Clean, comfortable rooms.

“A frustrating place to stay - it could be so much better”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Garden View
- • Stayed 5 nights
Who was responsible for the renovation, I wonder? The hotel looks magnificent, and is clearly a great success with wedding parties etc. But what is the use of a room with hanging space but absolutely nowhere for T-shirts, undies or personal effects except for an open bedside shelf? And how can you design a "luxury" bathroom with nowhere to hang damp towels? And how can you manage lighting if you want it not too bright but that means the bathroom light won't work - there's just a panel of "ambiences" to choose from? Practicality has to come first, not artwork and features! I felt we'd been charged for rubbish in some ways.
Most of the service here was great - we were impressed with all the meals. Our room (131) had direct access to a very quiet courtyard where we had dinner one evening among the plants. The rooftop pool was nice to have although the water stung our eyes terribly. The area was pretty good with lots of restaurants. For us it was superb as we hated the massed skyscrapers of the newer city.

Housekeeping took until late in afternoon to make up room. Again, it might have been due to the convention.
Location was great. Breakfast was wonderful - except when 'regular guests' were served on the 4th floor because the whole ground floor was taken over by a marijuana convention! Also liked the rooftop pool - both for late afternoon swim and for reading and relaxing. (Didn't go there in the 'heat of the day', but many did).l
