I stayed there for 5 months totally
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/5/05
For work reason I stayed in this hotel for about 5 month in different periods in the last 3 years.
I am a european and I am used to travel in many places around the world. I stayed in many hotels of different categories but I never experience a bad staying like this last one.
Before I experienced:
- room dirty so I have to fight with manager and the housekeeper to find out a standard that was acceptable. At the end it was.
- I stayed in many rooms and I hope you don't suffer the vicinity of Interstate 81 where bullet trailers run all 24 hr a day, higher you get the noise will become louder.
- the service at the restaurant for breakfast in the morning is quite slow so be prepared in advance to avoid delays in your daily schedule. I have to train them to my european taste: you can't eat full breakfast each morning if you don't want to gain 10 pounds in a month. The cooker is good, the service is nice but some time, especially when the resturant is quite empty you feel not relaxed atmosphere. You will understand immediately which is the best waiter.
- be lucky to avoid discussion with the manager; it is not a friendly subject. He is a straight man, so don't expect you will have any chance to be satisfied if you complaint to priority club: they can do nothing really. The only chance is you don't come back.
- First time in my life I was considered not welcomed in a hotel utilizing compassionate lies not worth to be replied.
So if you have to stay there for short period it is ok, for long time look for other location.
PS: presently the hotel is partly renewed (finally) but all floors are like a scrapeyard. Works start at 8.00 am, so I hope that you have already woke up for that time, otherwise you will receive an accomplished morning call maybe with a lift or a hammer beat.
