Accommodation in HK
We were very pleasantly surprised how spacious our family room was - 2 very comfortable queen beds and still enough space to get around. The bathroom, though a little small, was beautifully "newish" and immaculately cleaned each day, always with fresh towels. It was great that the hotel had already allowed for our 2 chn. with towels and face clothes in the room, plus enough glass ware. So often, with chn (ours are 14 and 11), the family room or "all in one" room only provides 2 towels and we always seem to have to call housekeeping to get 2 more. The pillows were large, fresh, feathered and beautifully soft. The beds were big, fine for my daughter and I, and my son and husband. The minibar was excellently stocked, though we did not partake, as we had plently of duty free liquers and purchased snacks outside. Breakfasts were awesome: everything you could wish for, including egg, bacon, dim sum, cereals, juices and breads, as well as Asian treats, waffles, pancakes and cheeses, salads, meats and crackers. Staff were very polite, most helpful and went out of their way to answer any questions and give advice and directions. The shuttles were very helpful to get us from place to place, and they left regularly. In particular, Winnie on Floor 21 was delightful, kind, helpful and most hardworking, taking pride in her dutes as room cleaner, and very friendly with excellent English. At the front desk, a gentleman even walked us over to the bus stop outside, pointing to us how to get from the hotel to where we were going, and how many stops to count on the 10A or 10X bus. At breakfast time, a gentleman called "Teri" or "Gary" (unsure) was most gneneous with his time in telling us all about the wine on display outside the breakfast room, plus, when we met again in the lobby, he gave us some excellent pointers about shopping, the markets (Stanley, Ladies and Temple Street) and how best to get there. He was most friendly, very interested in people and very enjoyable to talk to.
