A note to the management of the Hawthorn Suites:
1. a half wall and a love seat do not a "suite" make
2. let's step into the 21st century: some wireless PLEASE
3. women like conditioner and lotion. Why are hotels still using this "conditioning" shampoo crap?
4. please get rid of those disgusting shiny bed covers that EVERYONE knows are disgusting carriers of bacteria and look like they are from the 80s. Most half decent hotels have upgraded to down comforters. They are warmer, more washable, and generally less gross.
5. Please don't send housekeeping around knocking on doors at 8 and 8:30. First of all 2x is unnecessary. Second of all, some people are jet lagged. Thank you.
6. a curved shower curtain bar does not make it a bigger shower. I don't tend to spend a lot of time with my upper half leaning away from the water.
Thank you, Hawthorn Suites, for the following:
1. awesome breakfast (omelet bar?!)
2. plug in for my ipod in the clock radio
3. being so kind as to hold my FedEx boxes for me.
For my money the Hampton Inn is a better hotel. With some upgrades, this one could be a winner.
