I stayed at the Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg, West Virginia this past week from Tuesday 8/12 through this morning 8/15 for a total of three nights. Some aspects of the Hotel are quite nice such as the lobby, bar area and the restaraunt that according to what they told us is opening soon. he room that I had was in dire need of a makeover and had many features that were far off the requirements of a property that promotes that it is on the national trust historic hotels list. Maybe they intend to change this. For all of the charm that is apparent on the exterior and in the lobby area the room was very average to below average. If you are placed in certain room such as I was the noise level is quite loud and you if aren't a deep sleeper then you will hear trucks speeding by through the night. Even better was the interuption that occurred this morning at 4:45 AM when an alarm with a noxious sound went off for approximately 25-30 minutes on the third floor. I couldn't take it after approximately 15 minutes and opted to take a shower and leave. I requested an adjustment to my bill and the girl working the front desk informed me that she did not have the power to make the adjustment. She told me that she did not want to call her boss Dorinda because it was 5:30 AM. I being pretty delirious from sleep deprivation told her to go ahead. She phoned Dorinda who is pretty clueless about customer service and the offer of a $10.00 credit was made which I offered a scatalogical reaction to and left to catch a catnap in a hot car and drive to northern Ohio (190 miles) with my 30 minutes of sleep. My advice is that if you go to Parkersburg stay at a Motel 6 or Red Roof. The room won't be historic however you will get to sleep and save a bunch of money. If you want a better hotel then I suggest either the Hampton Inn or the Amerihost Inns that are available. They are much nicer and I find that the national chains are much better at customer satisfaction. The people that manage the Blennerhassett do not have a clue about how to achieve a repeat customer. They train the help with a common excuse of " I just work here". If you choose to stay at the Blennerhassett then be very picky on the room that you get or I guarantee a sleepless night.Sean in Westlake
