“A disappointment.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

I stayed at this property for 6 nights in June.
For a hotel that re-opened after a multi-million dollar renovation six months ago, I was truly disappointed. The condition of the property was distressed, and three evenings out of the six I was there, I had to walk past piles of dirty linens balled up in the common area hallways (first floor). At 9:00 pm, I'm guessing these aren't going anywhere until the Hskpg staff returns in the am.
The passenger elevators had grafitti scrtached into the finishes, and a soda spilled on the floor onf one that had been there long enough that it had dried to tacky, and had been tracked out of the elevator and down hallways. I made the Front Desk aware, but there was a long lapse before anything was done to clean it up, or it''s resulting mess.
Housekeeping was hit and miss, with more broken packets of coffee being left in the room, than not. The continental breakfast was a real disappointment. I travel often, and typically stay at HI Express. I expected something similar, and was grossly disappointed. This buffet had eggs, toast, mini-muffin, coffee, and juice. One morning, there was packaged sweet rolls. Be sure you bring your breakfast ticket with you, or you'll be making the pilgrimage back to your room to retrieve it if you want your breakfast.
Lastly, there were only two persons out of five that I interacted with during the week at the Front Desk that had any level of professionalism. Between another room trying to charge room service to my room number (multiple times), to chronic issue with my key card losing it's reading, I was glad to leave and travel home.
I originally chose this location for it's proximity to my needs, and the fact that it was a 6-mo old renovated property. I won't be staying at this location again - not with the multiple opportunties that exist in this market.

Room Tip: Be sure not to choose the 1st level. The elevator bank is located halfway down the hall, so there i...

“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 18, 2012

OK for 1 night. Booked because of location; should have tried one of the others down the street. Brand new but nothing stellar.

“Worth the money.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2012 via mobile

Everything was as expected from the hotel, except I have had better room service food at other hotels (it is important to note that the food was not horrible).

“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2012

The hotel was renovated recently, so the room was almost brand new. The staff was very friendly and helped me with some sightseeing possibilites. Pool and jacuzzi were good, but we kept telling them no towels were out there. They were very prompt in getting more towels.
The beds were really comfortable and if I can figure out how to get a shower like that, I am definately doing it!!!! Having a refrigerator and microwave was a big help.
