Hotels in Hong Kong

We stayed 4 nights in a Courtyard Marriott when we first got to Hong Kong. The hotel was a little out of the way and we decided that if we were going again, we would get a room more in the city.
Jake's job was to book the hotel in Macau. He found a Best Western and told me that in China, these are actually pretty nice hotels. Unfortunately that was not the case for Hong Kong. We were laughing so hard when we pulled up in the taxi. It wasn't in the best part of town and then when we were checking in the lady said they were doing construction on the 14th floor and was going to move us down to the 6th and hopefully we wouldn't hear it. Well we didn't hear anything, but it was one of those rooms, that you don't want to be in or even sleep on the bed, but the floor is even worse then the bed.
The best part was when I opened up our window and found this as our view.
Here is Jake not wanting any part of the room to touch him.
When we went back to Hong Kong, we got a hotel that was more in the city and stay at Marriott Renaissance Harbour View Hotel. It was really nice and had a great location and a great view.

WOW. So pretty! Sorry about the grubby hotel room---I think everyone has a hotel horror story. So I think you guys should make an action movie of your trip in China---similar to 24 and then we will have a big party when you get back. BTW---we are so sad that you will miss Jack Bauer and pizza nights at the Sanders this season. :(
