Also, please note that unless you buy the most expensive category, which is often more expensive than the last-minute deals at the nearby Hilton and Marriott hotels, your room will face back walls and noisy restaurant fans, not a very charming situation.

+ : 10th floor, view of The One (quiet side), relatively large room, basic kitchenette, access to many metro lines, numerous shops, comfortable large double bed, fairly large bathroom
Tripadvisor Top complaints
Unbelievably noisy.
Tripadvisor Top complaints
Very noisy.
Tripadvisor Top complaints
1) The bed mechanism did not operate-just made noise when pressed (this is not a big deal for us, as in our past stays most of their bed adjustment mechanisms did not work); 2) The room phone is dead-this is not good, as one cannot call for a medical issue or other problem, and is a clear safety issue; 3) The safe was locked on arrival, and after waiting 40 minutes, then again a second time, was notified it is permanently broke and cannot be fixed.
