I've stayed at the Swissotel three times now, and it's due for some updating...which is apparently happening in stages. Rooms are fine, really spacious, but carpets are showing their age, decor needs some updating. I only know that they're renovating because they put two of my co-workers in rooms that were much newer looking than mine...you would think they'd have put me in the nicer room since I have a point of reference?
Still can't believe they charge extra to use their gym facilities. That is unheard of in my travels. I was also bummed that they downgraded their bathroom amenities from L'Occitane to some very low end/Motel 6 grade shampoo/soap. And shampoo only, mind you, no conditioner!
All in all, it's still a nice place, great location and service is good. Just be sure to ask for a room on a renovated floor when you check in, you'll be happy!
