Any of them that I have stayed at were very nice and their staff has always treated me as if I was a top-tier elite. However, I was told their pool is 50 feet by 20 feet, or 15 meters by 6 meters. This is not nearly long enough for lap swimming in my experience (YMMV). One really wants 25 meters, but can make do with 20 if one is willing to constantly turn. > And the elevators have a button in the elevator for each floor, > as God intended. I should point out that such elevators have their own set of problems, some of which could in theory be alleviated in a central control system, but neither of the two such systems I've used (Hyatt Regency Vancouver and Silken Diagonal Barcelona) did so. I'm referring of course to the excruciating experience of stopping at every floor. A standard elevator has no defense against this, at least in response to people selecting each floor (it could in theory dispatch elevators to alternating or separated floors). A central control system could potentially optimize for travel time by assigning adjacent or close floors to different elevators. I wonder if any do? > Oh. and the coffee from the in-room Keurig machines wasn't bad, > particularly considering that they didn't charge for it. Glad to hear they have good coffee.
