The room was nice and the location was great, but that's about all the positive I can say about this hotel.
Overall- we were extremely unimpressed.
We stayed here for 2 nights. When we checked in we were about an hour early, but they still gave us keys to the room (which was nice). When we got into the room we noticed it was extremely hot, but didn't pay it too much attention. We turned the heater down and went out to find something to eat.
When we returned later, housekeeping had been in the room and had turned the heat up again and it was boiling hot in the room. We tried to turn the AC on, but it didn't work. We called down to the front desk and they informed us that they didn't have air conditioning. Which isn't a huge deal normally (especially in February) but our room was so hot! We turned the heater completely off and decided to watch a little tv before calling it a night. Only.... The remote was dead (or simply didn't work). Fine, we just decided to read until we fell asleep. Although we slept terribly because we were so miserably hot. Our room was on the top floor and all of the heat from the rooms below was radiating up to our room.
The next day was even worse. We left a note for housekeeping asking them to keep the blinds shut (to keep the sun from heating up the room) and the heat off. We also asked them to please check the batteries in the tv remote because it didn't work. When we returned to the room that evening the blinds were wide open, the heat on full blast, and the remote was still dead.
I wasn't feeling very well so I opted to soak in the bathtub. Only, there was no hot water. It was luke-warm at best. So, I went to sleep without a bath, in an extremely hot room.
The next morning (the morning we were checking out and had a plane to catch) I discovered there was STILL no hot water. So my husband and I got to take cold showers. When we called downstairs to complain, all they said was "we are working on it". Why didn't they leave a note under the door notifying their guests that there was no hot water? And why did the front desk guy lie and say "it started around 1am" and when my husband said "no, it was like this at 9pm last night too" and then he said "oh yeah, last night too".
I do not recommend this hotel at all. Their service is just not up to par. The rooms are hot, and they don't seem to posses the service that comes with a 5-star rating. I will never stay at this hotel or any in this chain again.
I am still trying to figure out how they achieved a 5 star rating. I've stayed at 3 star hotels that have offered better service.
