20 or so years ago Hotel Derek opened as a chic boutique with a highly regarded restaurant and up-to-the-second decor. Guest rooms had all the latest amenities. Double Rs and Range Rovers were common in valet. It was a place to see and be seen. Fast forward... Hotel Derek is now a dilapidated, run down, dirty, zero-service shadow of its former self. My room was quiet and had great A/C, yes, but to call it a "suite" is ridiculous. It's just a larger guest room with nothing you'd expect in a suite. No wet area, no minibar, no separate sitting area, furniture scratched and dented well past its sell-by date, uncomfortable bed... OLD. And when I got to my room the bathroom was overrun with someone's suds from a bubble bath! NOT recommended anymore.
