For the prices they charge, this hotel is less-than-spectacular. Yes, the renovation continues- they are using the atrium area as a modified lobby/front-desk. The exercise area is now complete. Trying to find your way into the atrium/lobby after dark is a challenge as the entrance is on the side of the building; the front is still under major construction. Parking is limited, I saw no sign of bellhops to help with bags.
I travel extensively with a service animal- which is not your average seeing-eye dog. Initially, this hotel gave me a hard time about my companion, until I reminded them about the Americans with Disabilities Act and offered to call the police to verify my right to have my animal. The staff was professional, but a bit cold. I got the feeling that because I was not your average biz traveler, I was somewhat of a bother.
Though the room was nice, there was no mini-fridge, no microwave, no iron or board. The room doors were ridiculously thin/cheap, so that in walking down the halls, you could easily hear everything that was going on in the indiv. rooms. I remember thinking I was glad I was not there with a lover! The hotel DID offer bottled water in the rooms- for 2.50 per 16 oz.bottle. There were no restaurants within walking distance, and the little "Daz Bog" coffee shop (read:Starbucks copy cat) had great coffee items, but expensive and only open until 10am.
Overall, a disappointment. Quoted rate was 115.00 per night, knocked down to 99.99 by a internet travel service. I thought that it would have been better to go to a less expensive place that offers all the goodies in the rooms and complimentary breakfast.
Most of all, I look for warm, genuine, caring staff. For that, I can put up with an awful lot . May your travels be blessed! CC
