I am at this hotel right now and decided to post a review. My company had booked this hotel (in the towers) so I didn't have a choice in the matter. However, I got nervous after reading some of the negative reviews. Now, I've been here for two days and am quite satisfied. The rooms is gorgeous. Service, outstanding and location fine for a business traveller.
Last night I walked to an Italian restaurant called D'Oro and had beef ravioli with mushroom sauce and 2 glasses of wine for less than $20. Afterwards, I walked through a small plaza where people sold some junkie touristy knick-knacks and where I purchased a bunch of fresh cut flowers for about $3.50. There was a newstand open so I purchased some post cards. MANY of the little cafeterias that serve coffee and desert were open until about 10 p.m. I think that if you are in your 20s looking to "club it" all night, perhaps this area wouldn't be your "cup of tea." But for a grown up, I think its perfect.
During the day I walked around the neighborhood looking at some of the beautiful architecture, walked in a little antiques mall and enjoyed the fresh air.
Anyway, I recommend this hotel, the area, and the experience. Fantastic!
