Not quite meeting expectations...
It's tough to rate The Standard, it's like staying with a relative who has bi-polar disorder
and has taken time off from medication. Initial impression was that of a great location,
a smiling young woman to greet us, big windows for the big views... then you spend the first night there. We arrived on a Thursday, promptly served at front desk, went up to our room.
It's quite small, BUT that's easily made up by the really large windows floor to ceiling!
It is pretty much an all in one room, open space concept to the shower, bath and sink, one little door for one little (and I mean little) room with a toilette. This open concept may be the problem with what we found next. Mould. In the main grill that circulates the air in the room, we found mould, and could see that there had been more but it had been scrapped off. When we later took a shower we realized why. The entire room gets fogged up, there are three or four mirrors, but you can't use any of them for 15 to 20 minutes after a shower because of all the humidity. So this is a clear source for the mould. The first morning of our stay, having put the "do not disturb" sign on our door we were having a romantic moment at 10am, when there was a knock, and very quickly afterwards, the door opened... I was incensed, I just could believe it. Holding a pillow in front of my manhood, I asked her to please close the door... Later that day a friend delivered a dress to the front desk, for an event we were attending. When we asked for it we were told it wasn't there, they couldn't find it... Finally at 12:45, they called us to tell us they had indeed found it... It was there in a green bag, as indicated, AND the name and room number were on it. One more "service" specific issue occured: There was a wedding party done in the lobby and in front of the hotel on Saturday at mid day. They were preparing to take a picture in front of the hotel, next to this funky statue, and they were told by staff that they couldn't take a picture there... The bride lost it a little telling them that she had a very expensive suite at the hotel, and she was pissed that they wouldn't even let her take a damn picture in front. I just think it's stupid, and a missing out on marketing... It's a wedding photo, will live on forever, and you don't let them take the pic in front of your business... That's marketing you can't buy!! 
Last comment, don't go to this hotel if you want to sleep well. The beds are comfortable, HOWEVER, there is a club at the top of the hotel, AND below you at street level with a nice big terrace, so the base is pounding all night long, and the other guests are hooping and hollering in the hallways as they come home. 
There you have it, sorry for being negative, but there's nothing worse then having service issues when at a nice expensive hotel. The service should be beyond reproach.
