I fully agree. In particular if you have SPG Platinum status. One of the better (not to say best) hotel breakfasts in Berlin and very well connected to public transport with lots of restaurants and night spots in easy (even for US standards) walking distance.

The bathroom was at least 10 years old (except maybe from the futuristic shaving mirror that has light around it
)There was a CRT TV (not a modern flatscreen) which was integrated in a cupboard, and the cupboard you can move like a door within the room (with stress marks on the floor which already went through the metal piece into the granite floor)
The windows however were modern soundproof glass, but that might have been the only thing that has been refurbished recently.
I'm not gonna go into details, like curtains, carpet, and so on,... in my opinion, the rooms needs modernization.
Why do lawyers always talk like they know everything?

When I get back to the office i could scan the invoice from August 2011. I dont know which is the east and the west-wing, I've stayed in the wing that goes parallel to Budapesterstrae. I dont know what youre talking about to be honest.

One example - if one is going to opera in Berlin, two of the three main houses are in currently the West (the Deutsche Oper and the Staatsoper, the latter is temporarily using the Schiller Theater while its permanent home on Unter den Linden undergoes reconstruction).
