My third stay from now will be over my 50th birthday, as this is my favourite property.
Well the room was definitely smaller in 2504. The bedroom area was smaller than the suite bedroom (either variety I have had both) by at least 1 metre and possibly 2+, the bed was smaller the desk orientation was different, the walk in wardrobe was much smaller, the lobby area was smaller, the bathroom was much smaller (1 sink not 2), small angled shower in the corner and 2/3 size bath. My guess is this room was at least 33% smaller than a suite bedroom.
Were it not for the fact that I have a free stay voucher to use I would give the SGS a miss in future not because after a long and successful run I did not get a suite but I clearly had a really crappy room which I struggle to believe was the best available.
Whilst that stay was only for just over 14 hours it might have been a lot longer and if I ever got a room like that again I would check out immediately.
