It was a beautiful hotel room until you tried to live in it. Classy and modern, we walked into the hotel and were impressed. But the whole place lacked user friendliness.
It took us several minutes to get into the room because, tech-savvy as I am, I didn't realize that one of our proximity room "keys" was simply coded incorrectly. And when we walked in to this beautiful room, there was no dresser or even a drawer, so we lived out of our suitcases. The room had two queen-sized beds and so would hold four people, but since the sink was in the bathroom, there's no brushing teeth or making coffee if someone's in the glass-doored shower. And speaking of doors: The door between our room and the room next door (to create a suite, I suppose) was so thin that we knew exactly what the couple next door were doing and how much they enjoyed it.
I must add that we did not pay the $22 a piece for the breakfast buffet. If the food tasted as bad as the hotel coffee, we were not interested. I recommend the nearby Cafe Patachou instead.
Still, the staff were unfailingly friendly and the beds were perfectly comfortable and the view was unexpectedly lovely, so I'm not even mad. But a little more thoughtfulness by the interior designer would have made this a place to remember.
