Hotel Great. Service not so much.

This is a very nice hotel with easy access to downtown. The room and the view were great. Sunsets were brillant. I do have a major complaint. One evening I called to try to order room service from 6:00-7:30 pm. The line was always busy so no dinner that night. I was not able to leave the hotel for food. The next day I told the desk manager of my problem. He was not particularly concerned. I was so I ordered dinner for that night while I was standing at the desk in the morning. No problem, I was told except that “I would have to take my place in the queue”. At 10:00 am placing an order for 5:30 pm. I was the queue. The nonchalance of the staff didn’t match the quality of the hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
The property is expensive for what it offers: the pools are undercover so the water is too cold- no one was in the water. The rooms are clean and tidy- however if you are facing the town you don’t stay in the room. The pictures indicate the rooms have a bath - they don’t. There is no ramp when you enter/ so you have to carry your luggage up the steps- that’s hard.

Pros: stylish rooms. Super convenient location. Good facilities. Friendly staff Cons: checkin a bit chaotic and key information not given. Hotel tricky to navigate (especially if not explained at check-in) and has to wander around to find key facilities. Pool cold and limited access to sun. Pool deck area open to public access and glass bottom/sides of pool means you are ‘on display’ to those in the bar/restaurants below. Information in room on iPad or tv too focussed on ‘copy-writing and branded narrative’ and missed key information (where are pools, what time are they open etc).
