Verified review

4/10 Fair

The staff are excellent (especially the concierge and door staff), and location is superb but the building is just awful. I could hear people in adjacent rooms talk, anyone walking anywhere create a boomy low-end thud that pressures the ears, and for whatever reason the people I shared the bed wall with had a daily need to bang violently on the wall -- but only once (!!) and at around 8am. To make matters worse - all rooms have the same tired soft to the point of being painful and impossible to sleep on mattresses, compensated for by toppers which make the situation worse. It took 3 days to sort out some sort of a replacement topper which made the mattress bearable. If I hadn't been in town for a conference and had to be out for work all the time, I would have moved out of this hotel on the first day. I'm never coming back here again.
