Myriad By Sana Hotels

Setting on the water is lovely, and much of the modern design (exception below) is interesting and attractive. The breakfast room shows off the river setting beautifully, and array of foods was sumptuous. (Coffee was undrinkable, though; order a long espresso instead.)

Travelling with my adult daughter, we had a room with twin beds, but it was terrible for two people to share: 1. Bath "room" is in fact first half of hotel room, with just a curtain dividing it from bed area. Anyone taking a shower is in full view of anyone coming into hotel room. (Not exaggerating.) 2. Combined tub/shower means big step to get in, with no place to hold on for support. Also no place to hang a bath towel or even a hand towel. (While packing to leave I realized I could have moved a tiny stand closer, to throw a towel over it - that would hold only one, though.) 3. Toilet and bidet are jammed into a small closet-like space with a sliding half-frosted glass door. Aside from not being at all private, you have to squeeze sideways past the bidet to reach the toilet. Awkward. I guess the design was intended to maximize view of the river, but honestly! Good design should consider function and comfort, too. We chose this hotel for our final night, to be closer to airport for my daughter's early morning flight. But the "airport shuttle" is a joke - all they do is call a taxi, for which you pay double. We spoke to front desk staff and were the only guests in the lobby, but still no one told us it arrived, until we finally asked; then we went out on our own, in the dark, with her suitcase to find a taxi in a nearly empty parking lot; unfortunately we couldn't communicate with the driver (and no one was there to translate) to confirm it was the prepaid "shuttle" and not some random cab I was sending off my daughter in. Totally unnecessary confusion. On checkout, the front desk staff refunded the "shuttle" cost without argument, which was the right thing to do and I did appreciate it, but they weren't gracious about it and it was unpleasant overall.
