Comments: less and less upgrades in this hotel, no more wine from the manager waiting in the room, useless wifi, breakfast buffet in club lounge not replentished...it is still a nice hotel, but not the great hotel it used to be, IMO.

Comments: used SNAs to secure a proper suite, the suite was okey. But the rest of the hotel was not very great, sloppy service (with a few exceptions), dark and cave-like club lounge, extremely slow elevators (15 minute wait - I am not joking!), door was broken (if anyone pushed hard on our roomdoor it would go wide open), reported this, but they put a nail in it, and said it was okey. It was not!
