Staff was great. Property was great and a short walk to the target center. Only issue was that they said they didn’t know anything about the $15 drink/food voucher or room upgrade option that Expedia said we would receive. Maybe that’s more of an Expedia issue.

They dont tell you that some of their rooms, including suites, dont have windows to the outside. The inward faccing rooms are dark and gloomy. I downgraded from a suite to a regular room to see the sun during my stay but had to eat the extra fee I paid for a windowless suite. They should let you know that you are booking a room without a window at the time of booking.

I read a lot of reviews for this hotel before booking it, and the reviews tended to be positive. Yet I’ve never had such a poor experience like this at a hotel. First, and perhaps most important is just the general uncleanliness of the hotel. In my room’s closet on the shelf was a roll of condoms I assume were left by another guest? The bathroom’s glass door had spots.The sofa had stains as did the rug and the room smelled dusty and sour. It was extremely disappointing because I paid more for the business room. But it was clear that the room was not clean, nor was that floor regularly maintained. Other things that might drive you insane: a small nspresso machine that is supplied with full sized cups that are too big to fit under the spout because they are taller than the machine. So, no actual receptical for the coffee exists. You have to request to have housekeeping make up your room, but they have no clear process to make that request And do not tell you that when you check in. I had to call the front desk for mugs that were small enough for the coffee machine, and then ended up just going into the restaurant and taking them myself after waiting for 45 minutes. Also fyi— business guests do not have access to the business lounge on the business floor. And they don’t have a business center/ work space for business travelers like most hotels. After condoms rained down from the closet, we checked out and moved to Emery. It was clean. The rooms were servi
