Very Pleased - A Plus
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/13/05
We were really pleased from the minute we stepped into our room. We had a king leisure suite, which was really quite spacious with a king-size bed and a love seat which folded out into a bed to sleep two more. One of the things we really liked about our room was the new adjustable showerhead that offers a rainshower, a pulsating shower or a regular shower - not a feature you often see in a mid-price hotel. Also, they had a little card that mentioned that if you had forgotten any items like your toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, etc. to let them know and they would supply if for FREE - again, nice perk for a mid-price hotel. I'm always cold in hotels, so it was nice to have an extra blanket already in the room as well as an extra pillow without having to ask for it.
The next morning, we ventured down to the lobby to check out the new Express Start breakfast. The lobby was set up really nice with plenty of tables to sit and eat. The hot, fresh cinnamon rolls were to die for. They also had several different types of bread for toast, muffins, juices, cereals, hard-boiled eggs, instant oatmeal and grits, and fresh fruit. The coffee was excellent with a variety of flavored creamers for added taste if you wanted. A really nice spread.
On top of all of that, we spoke several times with our front desk clerk to ask for recommendations for local attractions and places to eat. She was extremely pleasant and helpful, steering us to great places that the locals go and keeping us away from some places that we might have ventured into that she said weren't worth bothering with. We were overall extremely pleased with our experience and will absolutely stay here again. Oh, by the way, they also accept pets and were not bothered in anyway by the fact that we had 2 small french bulldogs with us - another major plus in our eyes.
