Beautiful Hotel - Terrible stay. Expensive, Loud at night, Restaurant & Facilities overrun by locals wanting to part
Pros:

Beautiful property, comfy beds, good facilities. Unfortunately ruined by catering to those not staying here

Cons:

Was there to attend a conference which means early mornings and long days. We were told when we arrived during summer they hold parties every Friday - Sunday night. Was told the volume gets turned down around 10pm, it didn’t until 12:30pm. Was told being on the 12th floor I wouldn’t hear it. That was wrong, it was so loud I asked to switch rooms to the other side of the building. Which meant a downgrade in room.

The inside restaurant also becomes unbearably loud from 5 or 6pm, can’t have dinner inside and hold a conversation. Catering to outside people coming in to party.

The cost to stay there you would think guests take priority over a pool party & outside guests. Not the case.

When using the inside facilities we spoke to someone who goes there frequently just to use the facilities because they live close by. They were jumping in/out of pools, following us to the sauna - putting excessive amounts of water on then leaving immediately. People letting their kids splash around in the spa after arriving after those in there. Completely inconsiderate people who weren’t paying to stay again being catered to.

Also had an issue with a staff member enter my room without knocking. The manager on duty the next day handled things perfectly, accommodated my room change with ease & spoke to the staff ensuring they would be trained better. She was very professional & a saving grace to the hotel. My review would have been far worse if not for her.

I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. Unfortunately the scene they have catered to is those coming to party, not those spending $500/night to actually stay at the hotel.

Very disappointing

Comfortable but for the price of a high-end hotel, not worth the money.
Pros:

For the price, the room was old and not as clean as I would expect.

Cons:

Room decor was old and didnt make good use of the small space. Was also a little grubby with stains in the bath and on the bedside tables
