Nice room but the staff need support
it very clear that the front desk staff has not been properly trained. When I check out they went rude but it seemed as if I was an annoying task that need to be dealt with when they where trying to do their real work. Not focus on the check out process or me the guest.

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.

Not a great hotel at all.
there are many things wrong with this hotel. The rooms are laid out terrible and not comfortable. The shades have large gaps so the room is never really dark. They charge for every little thing no free water so thank god I brought some. 50 a day for parking on top of $500/a night room price. The attitudes of the help are snotty. Uppity. the restaurant is outrageous as well.
