Disappointing
I stayed here about 20 years ago and decided it would be a nice treat for my 80 year old mother. I was so disappointed it was positively embarrassing. We stayed on the seventh floor. The corridor smelt musty, reminiscent of a cat litter, as were the rooms. The carpets, paint work and fittings were tired and the air-con was decrepit. My mother’s room was so cold when we arrived they brought a portable heater in. The bar downstairs was overpriced and staffed by inattentive waiters more interested in chatting up a woman at the bar than offering us drinks. I had to ask them to serve us after we’d been waiting 15 minutes. I did complain when we checked out and they reimbursed my internet charge - $17. Wow. I will be writing to them.
There is no doubt that the hotel is an architectural icon which makes the mediocrity of the rooms and service so much sadder. My recommendation would be to swing by, marvel at the art deco interior and stay somewhere else.
