Not at all. I was comparing this hotel to the Eden, St. Regis and Intercontinental which all cost about the same in points although I think the St. Regis would go for more in cash, right?

I don't think this hotel is all bad. It just not as good as the others in the same category. It has a few faults that you should not experience at a luxury European hotel. If I couldn't get into the St Regis or Eden and I really needed to stay at a Starwood hotel, I would return here.
