I found this place when I was planning my businesss trip and noticed that the rates were pretty good and the pictures looked like it was a pretty solid hotel. I will say the lobby is pretty nice and is designed pretty well. The rest of the hotel follows the modern theme/look but there are just signs everywhere that this is a dated hotel and isn't upkept very well. Arriving at my floor off the elevator I walk out and immediately notice a base board that is basically ripped off the wall. I get to my room, open the door and wasn't blown away like I have been in other modern style hotels. It is decently done, but nothing amazing. First problem: the light bulb in the table lamp beside the bed was burnt out. This was really annoying during my stay. Second problem: the bathroom sink didn't drain well at all and I HATE that. Also looking around the room you just notice little signs of no attention such as the cool design clock on the wall that is like 6 hours off in time and the dirty grout between the floor tiling in the bathroom. I noticed a little hole in the wall in the room also, touched the hole and then something fell back into the wall and made a thud noise....what was that? I thought this would be a pretty cool hotel, but ended up being disappointed. WIth a remodel though and some attention, this hotel does have some potential though."^^ . "0"^^ .
