good location marred by bad restuarant and worse decor
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/08/05
Check in went rather well, but had to get a new key three times. Restuarant service was HORRIBLE, the servers (an ironic title for them) didn't care what you wanted or needed, in fact, they disappeared after they took your order. The food took way too long to come out and when it did arrive it was dry, tough and sometimes even burnt.
The front desk crew was mostly helpful, and friendly, but I never could get either my door key or internet connection to work properly. The hotel interior is ugly (especially the 70s comforters and carpeting) and crumbling, but not as dirty as the other posters make it out (though there was a cigarette hole in my comforter!).
The guy driving the shuttle to the airport was EXTREMELY rude, he even threw my bags back at me (it almost hit in the back of the head) when he picked up a new guest and then insisted I get off early and walk to my check-in area (it not like it was far, but its the principle of the matter).
Its a good location: just two blocks from Miracle Mile and 10 blocks from Merrick Park (GIANTIC fashion mall). Too bad the interior and restuarant were so abismal.
