| - I like this place. It's not a 5-star hotel. It is a 5-star rating from a guy that stays in a bunch of hotels - actually, it's a 4.5 star - .5 off for the bed. So many times, I get comments that I can't give a 5 for a three star hotel.
For an airport hotel, this place is really nice. Hits all the major points for why I would stay again and again.
This place is two hotels, one is the Clique and the other is the Applause. They share the lobby, restaurant, and probably the fitness and pool/hot tub. I stayed in the Applause.
The room is nice - large and very well furnished. The bed was a-ok but the pillows were not the best. Speaking about the bed, it changes LED colours and lights up. Cool or Creepy - haven't quite figured that out yet.
When you walk in, it has the obligatory coffee machine and fridge, with pops and snacks, and water bottles. Big diff from other places, all of it is included with your stay! Nice! Including the cappuccinos and sparking water.
The restaurant - bar by night, breakfast place by day is pretty good. I got a complimentary drink at the Tonic Bar during checkin and I got one of the local IPAs. I had the meatloaf for dinner - was a bit cold and dry. Kind of expected it as the kitchen was closing and I got in pretty late.
The big sticking point for me is the shower. Most hotels leave me pretty P.Off'd in this department. Applause doesn't disappoint. It has a modern rain shower with power! Nice!
At a solid 4.5, I'll be checking back in here again on my next biz trip!
Cheers!
