Room was not ready at check-in time. Horrific construction noise in the lobby made it impossible to talk to the front desk staff. The elevator was very noisy, keeping us awake until very late. After making a reservation we were surprised to learn the Bombay Brasserie was far away from the hotel. All of these things diminished our experience at this otherwise fabulous hotel.

Missing the little touches.

I was bitterly disappointed with the hotel as a whole - not the room or the upgrade. I sat in the court and was ignored by serving staff and being 4pm they did not have the coffee and cake option -only main courses?? I had to go outside the hotel for that. Two TVs in the room but unable to switch one on/off individually. The sink plug was not working so I had to scrabble below the sink to empty the basin. Not enough reception staff - always a queue. Wooden sticks do NOT replace teaspoons as they do not stir sugar into the coffee. The free water was a nice touch but I was unable to open the larger bottle due to the stiff stopper. The tablet in reception that I had to use to register was too high for me as I am only 5'3" and had to stand on tiptoes. The bed was comfortable but too many unwanted cushions..

Having only one elevator working complicated things. I didn’t enjoy the scent of the shower soaps and shampoos. It was very masculine smelling. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.
