1. Although it had the best view of the park, the rooms was ugly, old, very very old, the beds were terrible.

2. (It reminded me a little of Binion`s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas, which actually TRIES to look like an antique bordello) Even if all of it had been NEW, it would have been UGLY; but the fact that it was all so old and worn in addition to being ugly, cast the hotel in a creepy dim light.

3. (Perhaps only the park view rooms are truly updated?) Our double/double non-smoking room was huge, sufficiently clean, and quiet -- It`s was just all SO horribly ugly.

4. Our room was on the 21st floor with a downtown view, so we didn`t experience the view down central park, just the back of some fairly ugly tower blocks.

5. I needed the sleepers because of the ugly bathroom and carpet in the room and so I decided to step out to the neighboured Ritz-Carlton, asking them for frottee-slippers.

6. The bathroom was in desparate need of updating, with cracked tile, ugly old brown bathmat, etc.
