A good, comfortable experience.
Pros:

The beds are comfortable, the staff were extremely helpful and the location is excellent.

Cons:

The toilet was the noisiest thing I’ve experienced in a long time and the water pressure in the shower was poor.

Pros:

Room was very large, staff were extremely accommodating and polite. Hotel is clean and very well situated with good transport links. The lounge area in the foyer is really nice and I liked that the $15 complimentary spend I had could be used at the 'mini mart' at reception.

Cons:

You do have to request a fridge for your room which I found a little irritating. Only two elevators which means you can often be waiting for one to arrive.

Good downtown stay for couples
Pros:

Great location, it beats everything. Also great price. Really close to downtown and all the things. Very silent and quite. Large rooms. Stays here for the romantic trip with my wife and it was a good choice for such kind of trips.

Cons:

Valet parking 55 per night. This is mostly forced as there are cheaper places to park you car but with more security risk. Parking on the fresh air is a joke I would say. Also inconsistency in presentation. Weird thing with credits, breakfast it not that good.

We had a great experience at a unique hotel.
Pros:

The hotel's historic character is amazing. It felt like arriving at a hotel from a century ago that is maintained with modern standards.

Attention was paid to every detail—from the elevators to the rooms.

The staff was very friendly.

The underground parking was very convenient, even though the hotel is located in the city center.
