This place was a solid 4 stars trending up to 5, but not quite there in our opinion. Located downtown just a block from the pier, it was a great location for a couple days in town.
We took a cab here from the airport and it was something like $40 or $50 HKD - more than on the mainland, but still less expensive than many cities this size.
You come in on the ground floor and have to go up one level to get to the check in counters. Once there, they have the standard normal and Starwood gold lines. The majority of the front desk staff here speak both English and different Chinese dialects, so it's convenient for most folks to come through.
We found that the concierge guys and gals were exceedingly helpful. We made a number of reservations over the two days that we were there, including a couple at some popular dim sum restaurants. Definitely take advantage of this as there's no way we would've eaten at these places have we not gotten reservations. They were also really helpful in directing us to both the waterfront and instructing us on how to get to the subway.
The rooms were very nice. We needed something with a couple of bedrooms given the number of kids we have with us, so we ended up getting a suite. I must say that the halls here are very long, and it's set up such that loan numbered and high number of rooms on the same floor can be, what seemed like, about a quarter mile from each other.
The rooms were nicely outfitted, though I must say the light situation was a bit interesting. With the windows open, during the day, there was plenty of light in the rooms, though at night there was only one or two lamps in either room, which made it a bit darker than we like. Certainly a first world problem, but for the amount of money that one pays to stay here, it's worth pointing out.
Our room came with a single complementary breakfast. When we went down to look and see how much it would be for others, we found it was about $45 per person for the buffet. I'm all for the buffet, but that was a little rich for us. Kids we found out we're half price...
The airport was quite a ways away and ran about $40 for a cab or $100 for a van that held 6 of us. The van was easy to get reserved and went on the room tab if we wanted.
All in all, this was a very nice hotel located downtown in a gigantic city! It was within easy walking distance of the waterfront and much of the downtown. There is a subway station across the street that was easy to navigate, and there were plenty of great restaurants within a 15 minute walk. It's expensive, but if you only have a couple days here, it's worth the convenience factor.
