“Average biz hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013 via mobile

After I read the mixed reviews of this hotel I was a bit curious what my experience would be but I was positively impressed. The interior is dated, staff ok, bar food average but bit expensive. Parking close to the door of the building they assign you to is anothe weak point if you arrrive after 9 pm. But overall it is a similar biz hotel as so many others in the US. I would stay here again because of that and the close distance to 880

Thank you for your recent review on Trip Advisor. We truely appreciate you taking the time to let us and others know about your stay with us. I also want to kindly inform you that we are currently in proccess of making many renovation improvements to our hotel rooms. We have already completed a renovation on some of our guestrooms. In which I would like to invite you back again and stay in one of our new renovated room, as I do not feel your previous stay was indicative of the service we generally provide. I hope that you might consider giving us a 2nd chance. You are more than welcome to reach out to me to assist you with a future reservation in one of our brand new renovated room with new Crowne Plaza beddings, furnitures, wall coverings and carpet. We will also be remaking and creating a new Restaurant menu where food and prices will be re-evaluated for our guest's enjoyment. Again our apologies for any inconvenience you encountered during your previous stay and we thank you for your business.

“Excellent service and wonderful location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We celebrated my younger sister's cotillion at this location, and the service was phenomenal! The staff went above and beyond our expectation. Everything was set up according to her color theme, that the hotel help provide, (table covers, napkins, silverware, seat covers and etc.) which was very convenient instead of having to go through an outside business to provided the party supplies, they handled it all! My family also rented rooms for that night, and our stay was wonderful. Some of our family members and friends ended up needing last minute additional rooms and they were more than happy to book them a room quickly and efficiently. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion and/or staying night. The staff and service is outstanding and definitely made it a beautiful and memorable experience!
