Good initially
Impressive on arrival and check in. Room interior good though slightly small with a fantastic view (25th floor). Buffet breakfast well presented but $30 per person?? Dining menu for the rest of the day was limited and repetitive as other than the "daily special" nothing else changed during our stay. On two evenings the dining area was cordoned off for Air China staff use only leaving a smaller area for other guests - we only actually saw one person use the area. When arriving to eat, we were asked to prepay for our meals and drinks so the gratuity was paid before experiencing the quality of service, not the dining practice we are used to.

The views are wonderful, pillows are great, staff was TERRIBLE. They kept my passport without telling me, I spent HOURS calling them and looking for it, they finally “found it” and front desk had a terrible attitude. Front desk also doesn’t pick up the phone for hours at a time, there is no service. Would be a much better place if they had better staff.
