Just returned from a business conference here and found that for business travelers, the value and functionality of the hotel didn't seem to match the fairly high price (for that area).
The standard room was somewhat small and had two double beds that were only moderately comfortable. The desk/work area was pretty small, not the right height for someone using a laptop and the internet service was rather slow and required an ethernet cable connection rather than Wi-Fi in the room. The minimally-adjustable chair contributed to the problem of trying to work. The water-saving shower head also didn't give a particularly relaxing shower. On the other hand, the wake-up call giving the daily weather report was a nice touch.
Our conference was in one of the large conference rooms which was spacious but was a very long rectangular-shaped room with only modest sound capabilities and inadequate projection capacity - a real negative when trying to give a visual presentation at one end to a large audience. The food quality for the breakfast and snacks was good and they served Starbuck's coffee. The temperature control for the conference room, however, was not easy to regulate. The biggest drawback was the cost and pain of trying to access the conference room's Wi-Fi service.
Their main restaurant on the lobby level was beautifully decorated with an open kitchen and generally nice staff but the response time to get seated, get our food and then our check was excessive. The bar across from the restaurant served the same food as the main restaurant and seemed a little faster.
The business services were not as transparent and complete as one would like and again, not at the level one would expect from this type of hotel.
