The rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, some featuring desirable amenities like dual sinks in the bathroom; many guests in Red Level rooms especially enjoyed the added concierge services and wine with snacks upon returning to the hotel each day.

small room poor lighting
the location was fine for walking to see the city, i guess.
my family room had a shower in it with a bathtub. it took up nearly the entire shower! also, the room felt small, and there weren't many lights. there was no real separation from the pullout couch either. i've stayed in better places.
