Frat Hotel on Weekends
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/25/07
This hotel is centrally located in Kennewick, a short walk to the mall and lots of convenient restaurants and shopping plazas. It sounds ideal for a business traveler. It was not the case for me. On weekends (April 2007) between 3 and 4 bus loads of rowdy school children would show up and take over the facility. Considering the small size of the hotel, the staff was unable to keep up and the noise level was outrageous. Calls to the front desk were met with, "What noise?" or the children would just "streak" down the hallways and do other vile things. I was on a long-term business trip to the Tri-Cities area and LEFT earlier to go stay at a lower-caliber hotel chain that offers MORE amenities (including a full kitchen, free washer/dryer use during my stay), hot breakfast with eggs every day, and more. And, there is a responsive staff at the hotel I switched to, which is more than I can say about the very young and inexperienced (unpolished) teens that walk around this property. Good riddens.
