At first i was skeptical of the hotel. 9 minths ago i stayed at the Sofitel across the street which is newer and more modern; however, I was pleasanlty surpirised. The rooms were a bit dated, but the size of the free upgraded suite, including a parlour and separate bedroom, with a great-sized bathroom which included a large rub and separate shower stall. The water alwaya had great water pressure but sometimes lacked instant heat in the early morning hours. Other than that, the service was great and the housekeeper made it a priority to provide clean towels and insisted on cleaning the room, when the do not disturb sign was on door (she never forced the issue but was persistent and always kind). The only two things I'd suggest to control is the daily barrage of "massage" requests and the fact that taxi's from the hotel often have to be told to run meter instead of trying to negotiate an often higher fare.
