Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I liked all the Christmas decorations and the staff was wonderful! Breakfast was delicious! Our room had coffee that previously spilled down the wall, a piece of popcorn on the floor and some pieces of plastic on the floor from previous person. Did not understand the switching of a used mattress while we were in the room and why that couldn’t be placed before we arrived or after we left. But overall enjoyed our stay.

A lovely 2 night break
Service was.excellent throughout our stay. Our server in the breakfast area was a lovely lady and I am only sorry I did not catch her name. Jeff on reception was a real star and mansges to find a room.early as I was feeling unwell. Room service was impeccable and the food we ate in our room deliciouus. The only small niggle was that the larger bed was zip lock and Carl was uncomfortably aware of the join.

The main issue is that one of the hotel's two elevators is not working resulting in long waits for an elevator and this has been an issue for months. There is a fair amount of deferred maintenance on doors and furniture that is disappointing and could be easily resolved with paint! The service was great though, but I would not stay there again.

This property is a true disgrace to the Taj name. It was filthy. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone! Myself I will never stay there again. And I would be reluctant to stay at another Taj due to this terrible experience. The rooms and bathrooms were dirty. Food was the worst experience! Everything is bad

The property was average. The problem we had was the rooms. Upon check in they gave us a room with no window. The window was there it was blanked out with some film over it. I asked for a room with a window and they gladly moved us but the room was ridiculously small and not the quality we had paid for. I called the front desk again and they moved us for the third time. Finally the room was acceptable but for $800 a night the bed was horrible. My as well slept on cement. If you have any type of back problems I would definitely speak to them about the quality of the bed in advance. No comfort here. Limited sleep due to the comfort and the elevator was not working properly. The door had an issue closing. It would take a bit to get it closed. Only one elevator was available. The staff were very nice. Not worth the money though in my opinion. I would expect exceptional comfort and quality for $800 a night.
