Disliked: Amenities
I was disappointed to find the "Executive Corner Room" that appeared to have a small balcony and sliding door, was in fact hermetically sealed. It was a determining factor in my hotel selection.
I was also disappointed by the pool. It looks nothing like the photos and the faux grass that has been added is strewn with cigarette butts, and small pieces of plastic and paper waste. It was ungroomed for the three days I stayed. I actually wonder if this floor is separately managed. They've tried to turn it into a hipster day club vibe with DJ etc, but mean none of the marks required for that kind of scene.
But some positive notes, the rooms are immaculate (though a nauseating vanilla scent prevails) the bathroom is well appointed. Mini fridge, with drinking water, bath robes, slippers, comfortable bed, decently strong and free wifi on my floor.
Not sure if breakfast was included, though I did see mention of a restaurant on the elevator's listing of floors. Regardless, go across the street to the brioche cafe and enjoy from their amazing array of French inspired baked goods.
Metro station literally across the street and so convenient to use.
Would stay again, but with expectations heavily tempered.
