We were first put into an accessible jr suite room that had a view of some roof. I asked for a better room with a view and had to take a downgrade for it. I wasn’t impressed. The bed had quite a dip. The furnishing was scanty. The tv didn’t work. There were dings in the furniture and doors. It was okay but not what I expected from a hotel with a great reputation. I’d give the hotel maybe 3.5 star rating. The room service was good but ridiculously expensive. I’ll stay elsewhere next time I’m in YOW.
