On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. There was no wait at check-in or check-out and a maintenance man who fixed our A/C went out of his way to help us. The location, near Southpark Mall, was good too.
The hotel itself is in the midst of renovations so paint and debris are common sights. The elevators had paint splatters all over their floors. The temporary "business center" is one pc and printer in the lobby. The parking ramp is full of old furniture, tarps and huge buckets of spackle and paint.
We stayed in a newly decorated room which was surprisingly ugly: dark furniture, dark curtains, a really drab kitchen. The decor actually detracts from the room.
We had a suite with kitchen + LR + DR in one half; BR + BA in the other. Size and cleanliness of the room was fine. Maids were not good at preparing the room--there was no laundry bag, no regular coffee, and only 1 small garbage can for the entire suite. Internet access costs extra.
The fitness center is decent but was not terribly clean. There were 2 ellipticals, 3 treadmills, a bike and free weights.
All in all, there must be better hotels in this price range right now, or at least wait until the redecorating is complete.
