Most luxurious hotel I’ve ever stayed at
They offer a courtesy Bentley car service within 5 km in the downtown area. The car was available and I thought of asking to drive to a McDonald’s drive in, but I didn’t :).
The bathroom was huge and initially I panicked that I didn’t see a WC, but it was enclosed. There was a stall shower with overhead ceiling tile shower head (4 tiles grouped together), I didn’t like it at all as I felt it was raining on me.
The spare toilet roll !!!
The scale didn’t work, and I am not so heavy :).
They even had a flashlight in the room (first time I have seen one in a hotel). It was Made in U.S.A. (I would have bet it was from China), is this a sign of the revival of the American manufacturing industry?
And the flashlight didn’t work; the batteries might have been discharged. I suppose no one bothered to check them.
“Please place this card on your pillow if you do not wish to have your sheets laundered today.” No, No! It should have been the other way around: “Please place this card on your pillow if you wish to have your sheets laundered today.” It needs to be very easy to save resources (i.e. clients should not do anything) and more difficult not to (i.e. clients have to make an extra effort; they need to take the card out and place it on the pillow).
Nice touch, this clock.
Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to make the Nespresso machine work.
The place is Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Vancouver.
You have some hideous shoes…troubling for someone who is staying in a nice hotel…guess you truly can’t buy class..
GEOX sport shoes, true they have seen better days, but if GEOX heard you 🙂
I have dress shoes also, honestly, very nice. I take pride in my shoes and comfort is the first thing when choosing shoes.
However it bothers me that I buy leather shoes, so I will have to stop this, no more leather shoes.
I might write a post about ‘Blacksocks’ (you can order them online only) and my experience with them (including a $27 cashmere silk pair).
How is it travel related? One needs very comfortable socks when travelling.
From the movie “Small Time Crooks”
Tracey Ullman: What’s bothering me is we got no class.
Woody Allen: Speak for yourself. I was very charming tonight. I was killin’ them with jokes.
……..
I got more class in my little finger than they all got combined.
I was thinking the same thing. Your shoes needs to go. 😉
Putting a card to change sheets might be off putting to some customers. I’m sure it would waste more resources (hotel staff time dealing with complaints) then saving – at least in a upper scale property.
