This was my second stay. The rooms are beautiful, the lighting is perfect, as are the amenities. Bed very comfy. The robes are wonderful. The service was just okay. Two room service orders took well over an hour to arrive (and if that's the case, fine, but don't say it will be up within 35-45 minutes) and a request for just a fork took nearly as long (I had brought some noodles back to my room but they were cold by the time the fork arrived). Only two bottles of complimentary water and no easy place to refill them seems cheap for a $1000 a night hotel room (and not replaced daily either). Shower had lame water pressure.

I like the aesthetic of the room. Clean, simple. Overall, customer support is ok. When I checked in, my hands were super full, and no one asked if I needed things sent up to the room or needed help. Odd for a reputable hotel. There is a gym. Nothing else. No spa. There is tiny, and beautiful Japanese garden. But it’s not like you can stay there. No seating. Also there is a constant loud noise of AC fans from the roof of the building. The restaurant is ok. It’s in the first floor, and there is smell that travels through the building. I ordered breakfast to the room. The deliver was ok. I was expecting more “good morning, do you want me to take off my shoes, can I enter?” But nope. Very super quick and bye. Not returning unfortunately. I’ll stick to the other high end hotels.
