This hotel was very nice and safety seemed to be the first order of every day. There were business suited "guards" in and around the hotel day and night.
The rooms are spacious and very clean. We had several small issues such as not leaving enough towels, there were no wash clothes, sometimes they would provide turn down service and sometimes they wouldn't. Dissapointing for a 5 star hotel.
The hotel charges extra for everything. Internet is about $20.00 US per 24 hours. If you want some ice, it is about $3.00 US for a very small bucket. Laundry and other services are very expensive. Drinks in the bar or on the patio are very expensive.
The elevators in the hotel are very fast and not much waiting time when you need one. We had problems with the electonic keys. We had to have them changed several times during our stay.
The hotel is close to great shopping and restaurants plus the train station is only a couple of blocks away.
Don't wear expensive jewelry or watches. One man in our party lost his $20,000 watch to a professional thief. The rooms have safes in them and I would suggest you use them. Often I carried no wallet but rather one credit card and my picture ID. Not my passport as there is a market for them.
Here's a hint. There is a grocery store about 3 blocks from the hotel called Disco. The room has a small coffee maker in it but the hotel charges about $4.00 US for enough coffee to make a pot. At the grocery store you can buy coffee and filters and make all the coffee you want on the cheap.
All in all, I would stay here again even with the shortcomings.
