| - This hotel was good enough that I wanted it to be better. Location excellent.
The restaurant area was under renovation all during my stay, so no room service was available, as advertised on the hotel's webpage. Also a messy look.
The room was spacious and Ikea-ish style: unfinished wooden cabinets (without handles) and shelves:the Tshelf along the long wall doubles as the work-desk. (The outlets indicate where to park your computer!) The bed was supremely comfortable. The excellent housekeeping starts surprisingly early.
There is a sort of "grab and go" breakfast in the lobby from 7 to 9 each morning: coffee, tea, or decaf; small muffins (blueberry or chocolate); apples; and small fruit yogurts (plain would have been nice). I just used to bring them back up to my room.
Possible small annoyances:
-The "wet area" and dressing-room are on opposite sides of the room's foyer. Some people will like this, others will find it annoying. (When I leave the shower, I like having the sink handy.)
-The light switches were panels of five, each governing a different light in the room. It took a day or so to get that straight.
-Few of the lights in the room are strong enough to read by. Housekeeping was nice enough to find me a strong reading lamp.
-The Internet-based cable TV is wonky, prone to freezing, so that I'd have to unplug the set and plug it back in.
-They actually take a $100 deposit (not just an imprint) upon arrival against incidentals. Waiting to see if it's quickly refunded.
-Phone service could be better. There's no voicemail, and, if the desk personnel are busy checking people in or out, the phones can go unanswered.
