Interesting observations on the Oriental. I haven't stayed there in a while, but have had good experiences in the past. I currently have a question which I e-mailed to reservations at the Oriental. I wouldn't say they have been quick in responding, so I will have to see if they get to it by the end of this business day. We had a good experience at the FS when it was a Regent. The FS location is good, although I love the activity on the river and the patio at the Oriental. Glad to hear that they are keeping the rooms up at the FS.
