Glad I didn't read the previous reviews before I stayed here. My family stayed there for 2 weeks and I found the decor of the hotel to be contemporary and nice. Our room was very clean. The check in was not slow at all. Everyone was very friendly and helpful when we had questions. No loud noise at all from maids. Did not eat the food there so I can't comment on that. One thing though...the elevators are slow.
I find the previous reviews baffling although I see most of the bad ones were in 2007. Apparently, they read the reviews and cleaned up their act. I would stay there again and again. And believe me, I am obsessive about staying in clean, quiet and friendly hotels since I've stayed in many that were bad.
