Second time I've stayed here in less that a year; loved it first time, this time not so much. The breakfast vouchers that were included with the room last time were an extra expense this time; breakfast was not in usual space first 3 of 4 days, and we were misguided by desk personnel about where it was on the first 2 of those days; encountered LOTS of dirty dishes (including a cereal bowl with a tiny dead centipede in it). To be fair, the food itself was as good as we remembered it. Various other glitches, the worst of which was hearing (on 7th floor) the drum machine (on 1st floor) until 2a.m. one night. Overall, it was a good stay, but not the nearly perfect experience of last year.

The walls were paper thin, and our neighbors partied in their room every night until about 1AM. we did call the front desk who called them and got them at least to turn off the music, but even their talking voices could be heard in the room. Its a beautiful hotel but I wasn't able to get much sleep so if you're in town for business I'd avoid this place

The staff are Nice specially Maya. I had a smooth checked in with her. I giver her 5 ⭐️, but the room that we stayed in was kinda dirty, you can see the dried splashed of juice or coffee on the wall bathroom, the keycard holder inserted at the TV corner from the previous people who stayed in that room as well as the floor that there’s confettis everywhere, but overall we had a good stay and I’m happy that for the fourth time I stayed in this hotel our room has carpet. We can walk barefoot.
