| - I have meant to review this place for a while, I've been about a dozen times. I havent been in a while (6 months or so) If things have changed since then, (like staff, I have no complaints there but it may be outdated)
This is where we stay when we go for a weekend. Normally when we go for longer than that we stay elsewhere, because it's normally for business and sleep is more important than fun.
It's Loud. I'm OK with that. You should know about this is advance and not complain. I'm ok with the shabby thing and the darkness and the wait for the car and all of that.
I LOVE that the rooms arent a million miles from the front door, I love that its not a casino, I love the paintings and the themes. I love all that artsy stuff. I love that we were never pointed to some big place to go eat, it was always something cool and funky. If you ask for an opinion about where to go and tell them off the beaten path, they give you the real skinny.
Reading other people's reviews, I realize that my memories are better than the real thing. But I am always happy after I've stayed, so my issues are generally small and easily taken care of.
To tell the truth I am a little bummed about there no longer being breakfast here, it was amazing and I really liked the convenience.
I've seen complaints about waiting for room service, I'm never in a hurry when I ask for room service so this never bothered me. If it were pressing, I would go out and get whatever I needed myself. I've never been overly dependant on room service, no matter where I stay.
Free Porn, on a loop, but still, free porn. Friendly staff (as I remember it, but again, its been a while) Champagne was warm when we got, everytime, but it was FREE to begin with and I didn't really expect much for it.
My annoyances stem from, no ice machine, having to go all the way down to the bar to get ice is frustrating at 2am. Especially when your not there to party, your not dressed up and you just want a cold drink. Who brings their ID to an Ice machine? Well, you will here because you won't get in that late at night, even for ice, without it. (though maybe you could if you flirt with the guards...)
People have kicked my door, thinking it was the party across the hall. I don't blame the hotel for that, or that there was a party there, but I do have a complaint about the parties on the hotel room floors that spill into the hall, especially when they leave the doors to their rooms open. Also I'm not a pot smoker, if partiers choose to partake, that's their business, but don't smoke it in the halls. Have more respect.
I don't like the marshmello beds, We've found that the king beds are much more comfortable for us as a couple when we go. I only ever got doubles in the first place so we would have more lounging room.
Last but not least, its kind of a pain to get to, we get lost on our way in almost everytime and the first 2 times it really annoyed us since it was very late and we were tired to begin with.
Its a little run down, every room doesnt have a fridge, you have to wait to get your car, but I've never had the staff not follow through on promises made.
I'd go again. I don't know why people have trouble with the neighborhood or whatever. Only one other review (about the bugs bothered me, and if it had been something more than a possible fluke I'd be hard put to say I'd go back), but I love the "little guy" and I love personality and this place has it in spades.
