Overall, my experience was mostly satisfactory. The hotel offered early check-in and late check-out, the butler service was attentive, and the pool and hot spring experiences were good. When booking, I specifically requested a quiet room as I was traveling with my mother. Upon check-in, we were assigned a connecting room, but there was no notification about it. I was tired from the journey and spent most of the day out, so I didn't request a room change at the time.
On the second night, I returned to the room at 10 PM. A couple had checked into the adjacent room, and their normal conversation was clearly audible. I had hoped it would be quiet at night, but at midnight, the poor soundproofing of the connecting room wall allowed distinct noises to come through, which was very awkward.
For a five-star St. Regis, assigning a family next to a couple in a connecting room, without considering either party's privacy or experience, is a significant oversight. While the butler service and amenities were excellent, the room assignment process had a clear flaw that severely impacted our night's rest.
