Grand, but not perfect
My room was lovely, and the bed was very comfortable but to use a chair at the desk, I had to drag one from about 10 feet away as to have left one there would have meant that I couldn't use the door to the room. Internet worked flawlessly. The room was small, which I actually liked, and dark, which I did not. The lobby and next half level up smelled of sewage, and we had two nights when the power was switched off for a while. Management had anticipated this and advised guests and given everyone glow-sticks, but the sound of everything starting up again would have challenged even a champion sleeper! The staff was all very nice and helpful although we had some excruciatingly slow service to a conference room from the room-service menu which had even the most even-keeled of our group on the verge of meltdowns. The gym facilities were okay but there was some jockeying over the limited equipment. The fancier restaurant in the hotel (near the bar) had very nice food with particularly innovative presentation. As a fan of older hotels, I give this one a thumbs up -- it takes a lot to keep this kind of facility functional and elegant, and I may have just been unlucky to have been there when so much of that upkeep seemed to have been underway...
