The aesthetics of the hotel are very nice. It's very striking, and it appears to be a really nice hotel. And it is. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. While it has the appearance of a really nice hotel, it operates somewhat as a budget hotel. Everything has a charge. Upon arrival, I was allowed to check in early, which I appreciated. No charge. However, once I made it to my room and contacted the desk for my wifi password, I was advised that I had to pay 20/day for wifi. I was told that I could access complimentary wifi in the lobby. While inconvenient, I didn't find this too out of the ordinary, just slightly expensive. It was until the following day when I tried to access the gym that I was told 15 per day to access the gym. That, I had never heard of, and thought out of the ordinary. (I believe these fees are waived for platinum honors)
For a hotel that already charges a premium, I think it unwise and tasteless to charge these extra fees. I'd rather really stay at a budget hotel or splurge and stay at one with more taste.
