"OBSERVATIONS:
The property does not have a dedicated Reception Desk on-site. Check-in (and breakfast, if purchased) is handled across the street at the Plaza Hotel.
There are a few stairs to climb (approx. 5-8?) before you get to the small elevator
As of August 2025, there is [still] an unfinished [unappealing] building across the street. However, no on-going construction was observed.
The 'Sky View' windows are somewhat opaque or clotted with dirt (dusty, understandably). In addition, in the summer, you'll need to keep the Sky View shades (and all others) drawn/extended to avoid overheating the room, anyway.
PROS:
Our Suite was just as pictured on the website, spacious, well-appointed, with a jet tub and lots of relaxing room.
There are MANY restaurants within a 1–5-minute walk from the Hotel.
CONS:
The biggest problem is the area NOISE! There are several Night Clubs in the area, but most notable (notoriously for its noise) is 'NAOMI' ... it, apparently, has a license for an OUTDOOR ROOFTOP DANCE/MUSIC AREA (one block away from the Diamond Suites/Plaza Hotels). The Club’s posted hours are 2200-0600+ [sic]... that means that just as you might be ready to sleep, the Club STARTS UP with OUTDOOR Trance/Disco/Euro/Throb music at 120+bpm ... ALL NIGHT LONG and INTO THE MORNING!
So, unfortunately, we got NO SOUND SLEEP for the 4-5 nights we were at the Diamond Suites. Our (Emerald) Suite has [effectively TWO floors of] floor-to-ceiling windows. They do NOTHING to stop the Clubs music (neither did our earplugs), the music penetrates and fills the room with its throbbing, thumping, heart-jolting rhythmic pulses ... ALL NIGHT LONG and INTO THE MORNING!
CONCLUSION:
If the local establishments and/or property owners band together, perhaps they could get some LIMITATIONS on the Club's invasive behaviour. If not, it's likely more submitted reviews will discourage staying in the area.
Despite the lovely accommodation, I cannot in any good conscience recommend a stay here (or at ANY hotel within a 0.5km radius of the aforementioned Night Club) ... UNLESS you're prepared to party all night long."
