Classic Decor Not for Everyone
While the classic decor appeals to most guests, it’s not for everyone, especially those who prefer something more contemporary with an edgier feel.
negative:
Second-hand Smoke
Guests who have stayed on the higher floors have complained about cigarette smoke flowing from the courtyard and lower level balconies into their rooms. Others have also noticed a tobacco smell when walking through the corridors. However, he problem does not seem to be a frequent one, but it’s something to keep in mind if you are especially sensitive or allergic to smoke.
negative:
Slow Room Service
The whole point of in-room dining is for the convenience and comfort. So when room service takes an hour for a simple breakfast, it’s not surprising that the delay is a huge turnoff for hotel guests.
