Great Location, Very Average Accomodations
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/29/07
With the exception of the great location of this hotel (only a block or two from the heart of town) it is otherwise very average particularly considering the high rates. I refused my first room as it was overlooking the AC units on the roof and a parking lot and was very small and the room and furnishings were worn. I would definitely suggest reserving a waterview room unless you prefer overlooking a large dirt parking lot. I was switched to a fourth floor room still overlooking the parking lot but happy to hear that the rooms on this floor were recently renovated. While the room was much nicer than my prior room because of the new furnishings the quality was more of what you would expect of a Holiday or Comfort Inn rather than a pricey Sheraton. There was no Sweet Sleeper bed that I would have expected but rather a cheap mattress with no firmness to it, a cheesy worn blanket and less than clean bedspread. The pleasant looking wooden mirror in the bathroom was hung so low I had to squat to see myself. Basically everything in the bathroom was new but the floor tiling which for some reason they didn't replace. The glass tables in the room itself were kind of unusual and a seemingly odd choice for a hotel room considering they show dirt and grime, which they did. The upside of this hotel was that the employees were friendly and helpful and there are mutiple parking options. In summary you're primarily paying for the location at this hotel and not the accomodations.
