For the price, I guess I shouldn't complain, but there were a few big issues.
1) The lock on the door to the balcony was broken. It would lock only after you played with it for about five minutes, trying each angle to make it lock. I know the chances of someone climbing the balcony and breaking in were miniscule, but we were a pair of single women travelling alone and were a bit creeped out by it.
2) The room was so bright at night you could almost read by it. The curtains on the main window didn't go all the way down and let light through at the bottom and there was only a tiny blind on the balcony door window. Being on the corner of the building, we had high intensity lights glowing at us from both sides. They need to replace the window coverings.
3) The Empress lobby was closed the entire time we were there and we had to go down to the Sahara lobby whenever we needed something, which was often, because housekeeping was hit or miss. We had to ask for towels & toilet paper every day and some days, all they did was drop it off and not even empty our garbage cans.
The location was excellent, though, and the staff that we did engage with were very pleasant.
