My opinion differs.
fair enough, though, the truth is, i don't even know where people come from when they rave about it. you, dan, lucky wants to live there... not sure how the hype even began. they have a nice bar, but except for walker blue, gl finding a bottle that's over $100. so unless you're feeling juvenile and looking to get trashed, you have a few shots of some decent booze, maybe a cigar or a few cigarettes in the cigar lounge (which imo is the nicest part of the place) and then... what?
the whole main area is full of semi comfortable chairs and couches, nothing special.
the restaurant is worthless for us.
the rooms have the most uncomforable "beds" for sleeping i've ever been on.
the computers are from the 18th century, running the first version of internet explorer invented.
the shoeshine machine in the bathroom is a relic, honestly it's probably there for design more than for use. pay $5 in any airport in the world and you'll walk away with a nicer shine from a person doing it while you sit in a big comfortable chair, instead of looking like a fruitcake in the bathroom.
they do have nice shower rooms, i'll give them that.
but seriously, what am i missing?
