If paying cash for an OWV, you can get a decent hard product at Conrad for much cheaper than at St.Regis so arguably Conrad OWVs are decent value for the money.

I think this is fair, though I think that anyone in either the base rooms in the St Regis or the Conrad would be quite disappointed if it was a major trip for them. I would not want to stay in either.
