Sheraton Porto
Does anybody know the Sheraton in Porto, Portugal? The pictures on the Starwood site show windows/glass walls between the room and the bathroom. Does anybody know if all the rooms are this style and if there are shades to block the view that not everybody wants?

I am planning to stay there in April.
I will be alone, so if anyone has a problem
seeing me in the shower, that is their own problem.
Would be interested in anyone's comments about the hotel, also.
I am sure if you email them
you will get the answer you need..

We stayed there five to seven years ago. I do not recall the visibility issue to which you refer. It was a quality hotel in an upscale neighborhood, but way too far from the central city. It was exceptionally well maintained. Finding English speakers among the employees was a bit of a problem. The hotel catered pretty much exclusively to the business traveler.
If you're going to Porto as a tourist, I wouldn't recommend this property due to its location on the outskirts of the city. However, as a business hotel it would be difficult to top IMHO.

I've only seen this peculiarity in Chinese Marriott hotels. Definitely did not see it at the Porto Sheraton.
