A bit "tired" but decent
The room was a bit tired, the wall paper was peeling a bit and Southern exposure, while nice in some respects, overheated the room and there was not real way to get air moving in there. The ac/heat seemed to be controlled centrally. I would have liked to have had the sunshine lighting the room, but pulling the rice paper shades was the only way to reduce the warmth in the room. The "balcony" was really not a balcony - it was more like a ledge - but what was most troubling was that it was a shared ledge with the room next door!!! When I went to bed that night, I did not feel safe leaving the sliding glass door open - even though the rice shades could be pulled closed to ensure privacy - there was no security in that. To be fair, they hotel did try to put a peg in the sliding glass door so you sould leave it ajar for a breeze while sliding the rice screen over (like a privacy curtain) - but the peg did not engender a sense of security for me.
This is not a fancy hotel - actually it reminds me of an aging motel which "long in the tooth" furniture, worn carpeting, and tired bathrooms. The oriental bath area was interesting - but I felt guilty letting water spray all over the place.
The meeting facilities were decent. Across the street are a few incredible Asian restaurants that you should not miss. Not fancy, but WOW the food. Nothing like most Asian restaurants on the East Coast - this was REAL Asian food - not American Asian food.
The doorman *WAS* incredible, just like others have commented. Would I go back again? Probably not unless my group would be holding a meeting there and requiring that we all stayed in the same hotel.
