Staff can't do enough for you. George checked us in and immediately upgraded us to a Fabulous Room which was a corner suite with a City view. Always friendly, efficient service at the bar. I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. It never fails to impress.

Liked: Staff & service
Our room wasn’t ready (check-in is at 3p and we arrived at 5p) and we were accommodating and took a similar room on a lower floor. Fire alarm/carbon monoxide sensor was faulty and a strobing flashes of light occurred all night affecting our sleep. We requested and were moved to a new room. In both rooms, the refrigerator does not get cold - it is essentially a fridge shaped cooler. Since we had things that would have spoiled, staff did find and brought us a working fridge. Staff is great! I think the property (like most) is still very much challenged by COVID (lack of staff and resources)

Business traveller, Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
For what we paid per night, the amenities were greatly disappointing. You’d think a hotel of this level would provide more than one bottle of water in a double occupancy room, free wi-fi, and have room service available — they did not. The restaurant wasn’t even open at night, so grabbing a quick bite in the evening involved leaving the property. The lobby and lounge finishes were worn and dated — very hip by 2010 standards, but clearly in need of a 2022 refresh. The rooms were clean, but again, out of date and lacking the little things that make for a comfortable visit.
