Our stay was amazing! Felt as if we were staying with family. As soon as we walked in they knew welcomed us and knew us. They even wished my daughter a Happy Birthday! They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Anything we needed they made sure they were there to help with whatever. Room was amazing and clean. Hotel Manager introduced himself and made me feel like family. Great staff and manager! Overall recommend this 100%!! Definitely will be coming back soon!

Nobu is a truly lovely hotel. We Particularly loved the Zen Garden, and of course the fabulous restaurant.
Our only difficulty was with understanding the lighting and blinds system in our room, which was a bit complicated.

Bedding, rooms first class.
Staff not as attentive during breakfast. Lots of staff around... just our particular waitress was a bit missing. Never got a 2nd cup of coffee, nor offered a cup. I found myself looking around for her.. then just gave up. At time of payment... it seemed to lag, there were other conversations with her and the staff that seemed to prolonge her assertiveness to the task. There were only 2 or 3 tables in the whole restaurant.. so it was not that you guys were busy.

Modern luxury with great decor
Upscale, clean, comfortable. Bed was great, but bed pillows were not firm enough. On the 3rd floor closer to street was somewhat a little noisy from workers very early at 5:30 am. But overall a great stay!
