The outside appearance is very dated. I almost want to bail out when I arrived. It happened to have some conference going on at time I booked. The rate was a bit pricey but it's seems to be all high around the area at this time. Central location. Lots of restaurants nearby. Once I walked in, the reception area was somewhat antique looking, small but quite warm and welcoming with the red wood decor. The front desk was very professional and helpful! (The only person that I was disappointed was the rude lady manager who I spoke with on the phone). \r
Once you walked into the indoor garden podium where the restaurant is (the only way to go to the rooms). It feels like a jungle. The restaurant was surrounded with lots of plants, a pool right in the middle and a man made river with running water but I found it soothing. It is kind of different and cute. Be aware there are no elevators to the rooms. The young bell boy walked by insisted to help. He is very helpful and polite. He dropped off my luggage and say good night with a great big smile. He took off in a breeze without expecting a tip. The bartender and waitress provide very good service. \r
The room was very spacious, dated decor but kept very clean. My room was facing the garden. Even it's a man made environment. It was still very enjoyable to look outside the balcony. Its a Friday night and a conference going on. I am not expecting to be quiet. Once I close the balcony door. It was surprisingly quiet. I had a great sleep. \r
I will return to this hotel again!
