The hotel is beautiful. However, the walls are very thin. I heard everything my next door neighbor's said and did.

I have stayed at this hotel many times. It was always one of the best, but now it appears to have gone into a decline. The staff wasn't courteous, and my room wasn't 100% clean as it normally has been. I was disappointed. I will likely stay at the new Hilton down the street again in the future.
