Unsafe bath tub
I was very disappointed with the safety of the bath tub and thus I did not take a shower and that is an essential part of my day. It is a deep tub and NO grab bars for safety. The only thing one can hang on to is a single water "handle". Shame on you for having a luxury hotel that is not safe for the visitors. I should get a discount for not using the towels!

I liked the hotel a lot. The breakfast was good but the dinner was surprisingly just mediocre. One item that bothered my room was so close to the three elevators that I could hear them all the time. Otherwise, a beautiful, and well-run hotel.
