| - Where to start... Oh, I know - on night two, I discovered what appeared to be old, dried vomit on the back of one of my "clean" pillows following a visit from housekeeping. The woman at the front desk wasn't blatantly rude about the incident but offered no shock or empathy. Perhaps this is not the first time she's encountered dried vomit on a guest's pillow... They did provide me with a $25 gift card to their restaurant or room service later on, which was a nice gesture. I also received a voice mail from a manager (who notated in the message that he was aware I was in training at the time of his call -- convenient). However, my 4 attempts to call him back went unanswered... I was there for training with work - a company that provides quite a lot of business to this hotel. I surely hope they plan on improving their conditions because I know I was not the only employee dissatisfied with the conditions of the rooms.
Thankfully, they appear to be in the early stages of renovating this hotel. It is in dire need of renovations to the rooms. In regards to the rooms - other than the "puke pillow", the AC was fairly inefficient and the shower water would build up in the tub to at least an inch or so of standing water when taking showers.
On the flip side, they did provide a breakfast buffet every morning (though they typically charge $16 for this apparently, and it's worth about $9-10 at most), they had an OKAY gym for a hotel, the pool area was nice, and the staff was mostly friendly and helpful.
Taking all of this into consideration, if my company decides to send me to this hotel for any reason in the future...I may just decide to pay for my own hotel out-of-pocket...I would never stay here again. Steer clear if you can!
