| - I recently stayed here for a business conference. I really enjoyed this hotel for those little things that matter (to me). Here is a rundown on my list:
The room was very spacious with a double sink, a tub/shower and large closet in the bath area (almost like a walk in). There was a door separating the sink area from the shower/tub area (I like that). The room had a microwave, refrigerator and small coffee/tea maker.
The 'hotel supplied' shampoo and conditioner were fantastic, enough so that I brought the extra's home. Great stuff. I travel very light and take my chances on those items and wasn't sorry I didn't bring my own.
The hot water was REALLY HOT, fantastically so. Assuming it was like most hotels, I started it at the hottest setting and walked away. When I came back and put my foot in... holy cow! I had to add cold water before I got in. This is NOT a complaint...there are not many things more important to me than having a really hot bath, except of course things like world peace and solving world hunger :)
Have you ever noticed that many hotel thermostats seem like they are they for looks and not actually functional? Not so here. If I set it high it immediately warmed up the room. As someone who is always cold, I really appreciate when I can warm up a room quickly.
The bed was extremely comfortable and the bedding was perfect for me. One of my colleagues found the down comforter a tad too warm. They requested a replacement blanket and were very happy after that. I loved everything about that bed.
There are 2 gyms on the premises. The 'free' small one and a nicer one located at the SPA. The Spa gym is $35 per day, but free if you purchase a service at the spa that day. Being in a conference all day and group dinners at night, I finally got the chance to do a quick work out late Friday night. Spa gym closed at 7, but free gym was open 24 hours, so free gym it was. It was perfectly fine for a quick 'out of town' workout. It had one of those band machines with 2 pulleys and different handles, 2 adjustable benches, enough free weights (for me), 2 leg machines, treadmills and eliptical machines. There was a bottled water dispenser machine and towels which was great because I forgot both.
There was only 1 bad thing I can say which is true in most hotels. The blow dryer was terrible. For some reason hotels do not include the funnel tip. There must be some reason for that, but I don't know what it is. If you need a funnel tip on your dryer I suggest bringing your own. If I ever visit again I will have to make room for that in my bag.
I deducted a star for the blow dryer, but then I added it back for being able to make the room warm enough so quickly and the ability to take a boiling hot bath! Great hotel, highly recommend.
