As you enter the hotel, there is
no formal registration desk. There are
“hosts” that assist you with the check-in process. Guests are invited to sit on sofas throughout
the check-in process. Guests are also
offered a glass of wine, water or other beverage.
During this stay, I decided to
use a Suite Upgrade, which Diamond members receive four throughout the
year. Normally, a Diamond member will be
upgraded to the smallest or lowest level suite, but can be upgraded further at
the hotels discretion. As you may
expect, some hotels are more generous than others with upgrades.
I was given an Andaz Suite King
on the 9th floor. As you
enter, the room opens up into a large open space. There is a large glass table with four
barstools with a large window that overlooks the city.

To the left is a large leather
couch with a large desk. There is also a
flat screen TV that welcomes you to the Andaz.
They even personalize the greeting on the TV, a very nice and memorable
touch.

The balcony has been enclosed and
converted into a small sitting area with two chairs and ottomans, and a small
TV that overlooks the city.
With the
great city views, why would someone want to watch TV?

The room has two full bathrooms. The “guest” bathroom is slightly larger than
the one in the bathroom. There is a
large counter, which is always appreciated when on the road. The shower is spacious, however there is only
a small hand held shower head that does not put out much water pressure. There is only a semi-enclosed shower door so
water will undoubtedly splash onto the floor.

The bedroom is fairly large with
a closet holding two robes and pairs of slippers, iron and ironing board. There is a small sitting area in the bedroom. The bed is on the softer side with large
super soft pillows. Although the bed is
on the softer side, it is not uncomfortably so.
There is a large dresser and flat screen TV to round out the room.

The master bathroom is slightly
smaller than the guest bathroom with almost no counter space. Like the guest bathroom, there is a fairly
large shower with hand held shower head with less than desirable water
pressure. The same semi-enclosed shower
door is also in the master bathroom.
There are Lather bath products, which are a very welcome change compared
to the standard Portico products.
