Great Place plan to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/19/11
I stayed 3 nights for a conference. I LOVED the thermostats in each room and quiet A/C units. Great pillowtop beds, lovely views, gorgeous lobby and rooms, updated and very clean. Windows opened to get the ocean air. AAAHHH! Good coffee makers (great Italian coffee) and hair dryers in the rooms. Good sturdy wooden hangers and a robe to use. Good valet service. Hyde Park restaurant was excellent -- best fried calamari I've ever had, great service. Other restaurants were good, too. The hotel was packed and yet the rooms were quiet.
On the negative side, the bathrooms were cramped -- had to step around the toilet and close the door each time you entered or you could not turn around. There was a separate sink outside the bathroom too, like a Hollywood bath, which helped, but they should have installed pocket doors. The self-park lot is like 3 blocks away. They need more help at the main desk -- the wait time was pretty long for a nice hotel. Only 2 people working the desk at one time and the place is very big and busy. It is one of the biggest hotel I've ever been in, and I'm fairly well traveled. Overall a great experience and I plan to go back.
