Well I haven't stayed anywhere that the hotel room is more than $200 a night, so I'm not sure if our standards of quality are comparable.
The Orchard was a very nice little hotel. The room was the typical arrangement. IIRC, the bed was slightly lower and harder than I prefer, more of an upscale platform bed than a high-end boxspring and featherbed like at a Westin. The atmosphere was very professional. They didn't have an expensive infrastructure video on demand system in the rooms, but what was an interesting alternative was that they offered free DVD checkout from the front desk. It's a half block from the trolley line which is good and bad. It makes it easy to hop on and go, but it also means you can hear their brakes from the room. It's funny how in the middle of sleep the scrape of metal brakes can sound like a mad swarm of bees. -Kevin On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 14:06:22 -0600, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm curious to know about the Orchard and The Rex as they sound more > vacationy than, say, the Westin or Park Hyatt which I would think are > more businessy. > > One thing I can say about both the PH and Westin is that they have > awesome beds and I know I will be able to get a good nights sleep > there.
