We stayed at the Blake Hotel during the Democratic Convention. It recently been remodeled, and they clearly had not done enough service checks of the rooms. My remote control for the TV needed new batteries, which was strange since it was a new TV and remote. Hadn't anyone turned on the TV once to ensure the batteries were good? Many in our group had flooding in their rooms, inoperable sinks, scalding hot water in the shower, and bugs. There was no room service and the elevators frequently were broken. We had great assistance by some of the staff, but not enough to make up for a motel-like feel in a $350 night room.
