[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's really nothing worse than a tired/worn but yet pricey hotel.

We spent something like $600/night for the Lowe's Miami last spring.  I must have read 500 of the thousands of online reviews.  Our room was priced roughly $1500/night on peak weeks (our week was not peak).  
Anyway, it was fine but sort of worn plus not particularly clean: fingerprints on elevator doors, dirt on carpets.  I notice these things far more when I'm paying $600/night then when I'm paying $100.  I'd honestly rather be in a new $100/night Embassy Suites alongside a highway--I'd rather be pleasantly surprised then disappointed.

Breakers in Palm Beach is sort of like that. Beautiful setting/beach/grounds, but the building needs major refurbishment. For what people pay, including food, it is not good (was there for a work conference).[/quote]

I grew up in FL and my parents still tell me stories about their amazing work retreats at the Breakers back in the ‘70s and ‘80s (they met at work). Disappointing to hear it’s gone downhill.[/quote]

It has.  Eau, a few miles away, is much nicer, in my opinion, though the food is lousy at both resorts[/quote]
