“Seriously, reconsider staying here --- from a gal that never minds cheap hotels!”
Seriously - reconsider staying here. I'm a gal that never really complains about hotels. I figure, hey, they're a place to sleep - and as long as it's clean and adequate, I'm okay, especially for a $60 priceline price. But this hotel is another story. First of all, no courtesy pickup, and when I called the front desk to ask about a taxi, they gave me the number to a gentleman who owns one cab and was thirty minutes away, minimum (did I mention it was freezing rain and I was standing outside at Amtrak?). I got to the hotel only to find out that their high-speed wireless internet isn't working. Sigh. The elevator was completely antiquated, though not telling. I got into the room, which seemed okay except for being incredibly outdated and worn. The couch was unbearable, you nearly sink to the floor. And the room is the same size as a regular hotel room, other than the "french doors" this isn't a suite. The remotes for the television didn't work except to turn the tv on and off, and you could only get some channels on one tv and some on the other. No sleep mode and no pay-per-view. The heat didn't work, it was pretty freezing the entire time, and they don't give you much in the way of blankets. Step into the bathroom - hair in the shower, the tub hadn't been actually scrubed (or "C L R-ed") in a loong, loooong, looooooong time. I went to sleep on the box, and woke up to a cold water shower (no hot water, anytime of the day), and the maid coming in to drop off towels at 7:45am. Did I mention that she never came back? No room cleaning, not once. Good thing I put my towel on the rack... So, no internet, for days and days that I had to stay here. (How hard is internet to fix???) and no room service. TGIFriday's is in the building, which was nice during the ice storm, but other than that, this hotel is one of the worst that I have ever stayed in - and I'm an avid traveler.
