Chilly Temperature
Some guests found the room to be a bit chilly at night, but you can regulate the heat in your room. You can also ask the staff for a portable heater.
negative:
Dated Decor
Various guests commented on the more shabby, less chic decor and Alexandra, and said it too away from the charm of the hotel. Fortunately, guests reported that some rooms are in better condition than others, but many still ran into appliances and furnishings that are evidently not well-maintained.
negative:
So-So Shower
Though most guests had no problems, a few visitors staying on the highest floors found the water pressure to be quite poor compared to the lower floor rooms.
