I normally only stay at Hilton properties, however I wanted to step outside of my box. The pictures of this hotel were beautiful, the lobby, the rooms somewhere I could stay at. The evening I arrived I was taken a back, the room was horrific! I had a light missing on the left side of the bed. It did not smell great, it was holes in the wall and paint missing on the walls. The only thing that was ok, was the bathroom although very tiny and no where to put your toiletries. The other good thing was the pillows. The location was great as well. I would not recommend this hotel. I was very disappointed with the room situation. The staff was great as well.

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience and the location close to everything made it worth it. The room was clean and the staff was very nice. However, the room didn't give us the best first impression considering the cost. The wall paint was scratched, and some of the furniture was in bad shape. The bathroom was nice but the open shower was weird and inconvenient. We didn't mind much about any of this anyway. The one bad thing we really didn't like is that after a few days, we started having issues with the A/C. It had a sign that said the unit is controlled by the thermostat on the wall but there was no thermostat. The room was getting too warm; the unit seemed to be in a heating mode with no way to change it or turn it off. There was no answer when we called the front desk, so we went down and explained the issue. They offered us a different room and we agreed, but after checking the computer there were no rooms available, so they told us to open a window until they could send the repairman in the morning. Only 1 of the windows barely opened, they were stuck. We went down again in the morning since the repairman didnt show, and they explained that the units are not controlled individually, it's a central A/C system, and since people complained it was too cold they had turned on the heat. This seems unfair to me, we didn't want a warm room. They then asked the repairman to turn on the A/C in our room, he agreed and left. It was still warm afterwards, so we just gave up trying.

I will be very honest. This might have been the biggest disappointment in 50+ years of hotels. Sheets dirty. Soap dispenser not working. Day flies or whatever those insects are called flying out of the toilet when I opened the lid. Noise so loud that only the white noise from air condition helped. Then when I complained to the manager he offered me a smaller room. Sure, he changed the sheets and sent up a bottle of soap. But my God! And the elevator is almost certainly the worst in town. Expect a 5-10 minute wait. Just a terrible experience even for a 3-star property (oh, I paid over $300 per night).
