1. The service is really poor, the rooms are quite noisy in the night (because of some technical machinery) and the bathroom was quite old (rust on tap and things like that).

"Overprice for an average experience " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/2/2012 Vote

2. My question is this; WHY put a 'premium rate' room in such a poor location, and expect guests to pay more.

"Great location for walking. ASK questions of rm location. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/3/2011 Vote

3. Only complaint is that the lighting in the room was poor - could use more lights - room was dark.

4. Don't be surprised when you call room service after midnight to find out they are closed, do not be surprised either when you starve because there is nothing to eat, don't be surprised when you open the mini bar and realize that your only alternative is overpriced and offers poor selection.

5. While this hotel is beautiful and in a great location, the horrible service makes it a poor value for the money.

"not worth the price " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/30/2007 Vote

6. Room service menu is limited on a Sunday night, and the food quality was very poor.

7. Our balcony room was a poor choice, however, as the amplified music, party noise, emergency vehicle sirens, and motorcycle roaring (all typical 6th street sounds) kept us awake ALL night.
