The first thing that caught my eye when I walked into the hotel was very chic little balls with slight depressions in them. I guess these are intended to serve as chairs, though they had no back, no armrest to make a person comfortable after a long journey. The next thing that impressed me was the unsmiling desk clerk, who did manage to sign me in without any problem. And when I entered my room, its loud (even in subdued light) pink decor made me ask for another room.A bit later, I discovered that this high-style room offered no easy chair. There is only a narrow window to let in some light. All other aspects of the room, however, were excellent: everything fresh and clean, great bathroom and shower, very comfortable bed. On my way out, the gentleman who appeared to be the manager of the hotel asked, in excellent English, what improvements I would make for Expedia customers, whom he wanted to please. I told him that he got some unfortunate advice from a designer who had a nose too much in the design magazines and not enough in the air of reality. He took note of my answer, and hopefully the hotel will be turned into the much more comfortable place that it can be.
