Property is very dated. The wi-fi is so bad a signal is not possible. You are also unable to receive a cellular signal either
Great stay as always at Rubens. Staff very nice and lovely room. Only issue ever seems to be around wifi...
Breakfast are first class although on the expensive side.
The property was great, the staff was amazing. The only concern was the hotel wasn’t full yet we were given a room surrounded by construction. For the first three days the only folks we saw on our floor was the one construction guy (very nice and worked quietly) but we could see every room around us was being refurbished except ours which was likely next. Finally saw others on our floor on our last night so it made us feel a little safer. I can’t say enough about the bellmen. They are fantastic and I would definitely stay again, I just would hope they wouldn’t stock us in the middle of the constrained if they weren’t full. Location was amazing!
