I stayed at TI with 2 other ladies (+ a 4th who joined for a night), and we all were very pleased and impressed with nearly all aspects of the hotel. I will break it down into Pros & Cons for simplicity:
Pros:
- the beds are as amazing as other reviewers have indicated. i do not sleep well with anyone else in bed w/me, and i slept like a baby. the bed and bedding get top marks.
- the staff was very nice and all were friendly, but not in that fake way that annoys me.
- 3-card poker dealers were great: Dionne and Souki stand out, and i don't like to gamble. they made it a fantastic experience to lose money! our table mates were also very cool - shout out to ontario, who won't read this :)
- all of the servers were delightful: went to social house, kahuanaville & coffee shop
Cons:
- the clubs are terrible: tiny, full of scenesters and patrolled by inside bouncers who don't know how to promote business (the ouside guys were great). don't waste your time there unless you can't make it out to save your life.
- the show was horrible: it's an outside show, which wouldn't be bad, but you are all shoved into this space general admission-style on the sidewalk. my friend was violated by a jerk walking behind her. don't wear a skirt if you can help it (she was wearing jeans, but imagine...). the show is also just lame. too much focus on the women and not enough substance to make it remotely entertaining around that. teenage boys might like it, but even grown men would have better luck just going to a strip club.
- food prices are high: social house offered sake flights on special. apparently 'special' means $30. skip social house altogether and make a point to go to tao (they have imaginative sushi and entree options, great drinks and a stellar atmosphere and staff - plus the meal for 4 of us w/drinks was less that 3 of us as SH). also, the large orange juice...be prepared...it's $6.50.
Overall, I would definitely recommend TI. Just be open to leaving the hotel - though finding your way out could be tricky given the layout. But as far as the rooms and service in general were, we were all very pleased and would return.
