While views are nice, the Regent doesn’t feel luxury. The corridors are drab and look like a Hilton. Rooms feel small, also because of the low ceilings (can’t change that in a building from the 70s, the MO has the same problem). Breakfast was a zoo, the restaurant can’t cope when there’s high occupancy. The steak restaurant is very good though, and the pool area is nicer than Rosewood’s.
