1.Concierge staffs are very cheerful, kind and helpful. 2. Disliked shower room. Soap, shampoo and rinse sit at opposite of the shower area and hard to use them. They should sit near the shower closer for easy use. It was a bit insine for users. 3. We ordered Fillet Steak with midfium rare of $69 on Monday night. The quality of meat was not good and it was much over cooked. Very disappointed. We guess main chef was absent for holiday.

Novetel is nice and comfortable hotel, but their bathroom without standing shower with manual pipe kind. We would preferred a bath-tub with standing on shower with a manual pipe. Everything looks good, their house keeping staffs are helpful, except the bathroom in their rooms. Beds are too soft, and is not good for our spine. Thank you.
