Great Value but lost charm
We stayed at this hotel a few years ago when it was the Rihga Royal. Back then rooms were warm with beautiful fabrics and amazing cherry or mahogany wood bathrooms that were fitting for the Queen. We were shocked to walk into an ugly fake wood floor in the living area with the ugliest purple HARD couch and cold decor. The bedroom area was better, but the bathroom was gutted and now all while marble like tiles - everywhere. The tub is gone and now an awkward long shower with shower heads at each end - kinda weird. I am sure those who like modern will enjoy it, but I found it cold and not cozy at all. Now - the service was fine! Check in was a breeze. We requested to check in an hour early - and actually showed up 2 hours early - and got our room immediately. We did have room service and that was very prompt - although 17% tip and 5.00 service charge is included, they still are looking for more. We did use the valet parking and that was perfect! Over all - I really can't complain, but for my taste I just found it too cold.
