I was given a room on Level 5 with very limited views (despite booking a Harbour View room) so I paid additional $$$ to get a room on Level 19. Awesome views. The room itself wasn't as awesome. Despite being one of the most premium rooms (Grand Premier), I thought it wasn't worthy of 5 stars. Standard amenities, no magazines in the room (so many drawers but they're all empty!), water leaking out of the shower, old/tired carpets and furnitures, outdated TV. It was quite noisy too, not sure what it was but there was this almost constant humming sound coming from the room next door (or from inside the walls). I had in-room breakfast and it was just ok. Definitely overpriced. I ordered bircher muesli with milk and yoghurt but got no milk or yoghurt. And they charged $10 for all in-room orders too. For the price, I wouldn't be going back anytime soon. I've stayed at 4-star hotels that were way better. You're paying for the views I suppose so if that's what you're after, then you won't be disappointed.
