Hotel is under renovation and had no problems with my room or anything else. Wish the air conditioning in bar area wasn't so cold but enjoyed my time there. Jacuzzi was not even luke warm so it was disappointing. Pool water was colder. Overall I have stayed here several times over the years and always find it satisfactory.

Holiday Intolerable

We weren’t made aware during booking of the ongoing renovations, and though this didn’t impact our stay, it was handled poorly - empty boxes piled in the hallways by the elevator and mattresses taking a ride with you in the elevator. Now for the real problem (which was appropriately handled by Hotels.com, thankfully). Day 1, evening: puddles on the bathroom floor coming from a leak in the sink. Water was taking a while to drain from tub, but it did go down, very slowly, eventually. Day 2, morning: puddles on the bathroom floor + clogged toilet. Day 2, evening: puddles + clogged toilet + water in tub wouldn’t drain without manually holding the drain plug up. We checked out real early on Day 3, having need to use the toilet now in the lobby and just ready to get out of this place! And yes, I brought it to the attention of the front desk. I didn’t make enough of a fuss, maybe, because I wasn’t taken seriously. I don’t scream or nag - just express my issue. The first day, the front desk clerk simply jotted notes and said she would send someone to take care of it. Later, at the desk again, a manager said that he didn’t have anyone available for maintenance at the moment. In the end, no one ever came to, at the very least, unclog the toilet. Also, when asked for some resolution or compensation for the inconvenience, I was told to contact hotels.com. The hotel itself could not handle the issue for me. Thankfully, Hotels.com addressed the issue promptly upon our return home.

I sincerely went to this hotel while visiting because the reviews on their staff are so impressive and I was not let down. They were all sooo wonderful . The gentleman at the front desk, Jonathan I believe, was absolutely on his game, respectful, delightful, and very helpful. Up to the room that I was so gracious for an early check in for (great room), andas I got off the elevator, I met many staff who work on the floors. They were all so accommodating, cheerful, a team that worked together so well. They are the glue that will elevate as the next step in this hotels transformation takes place. Construction is the only reason for one less star, once that's done, this gem is perfect!

This hotel is really below mediocre and now I understand why. It's definitely not the worst I've seen before but way behind its presentation. What I actually liked: - Restaurant on site (great option, not many hotels in non-popular locations like this offer it); - Giant parking (it's spacious I think enough to cover a full hotel capacity). What I really dislike: - Lot's of stingy options they are making money of (common bottle of water: $2 each (usually at least 1 bottle in the room but not in this hotel, then $18 per person for pretty generic food in buffet with selection of 10 dishes max); - Staff that don't really care about guests (they are pretty falsely polite but in fact: we supposed to have a crib for a baby in the room and it was our only request made on expedia, and also contacted with text asking for a crib, and it was NOT in the room, even after asking they brought it after 2 additional phone calls, we were really tired with the baby with delayed and cancelled flights); - Pretty old building, old carpets, equipment (it looks really cheesy stuck in 60s, unlike the photos of rooms); - Dirty room (lots of dust even in visible spaces under bedside table, visible even without moving, smelly room with dirty socks or something like that). Would I've booked or recommended it? No. It is okay if there are no better option available in the area. But besides the hotels with same price I lived - it's outsider.
