Ok, I read all the negative reviews, but it did not stop me from booking. Bad move on my part. Here's what I experienced in my room: stopped bathroom sink, tub very slow to drain, filthy carpet, paint peeling off bathroom door, drippy faucet, pipe leaking under sink, a/c with no temperature control -- my room vacillated from 72 to 80 at all times, ok breakfast, manager reception had a surly female table busser, mediocre assortment of appetizers, intense mildew smell in main lobby (lots of overgrown vegetation and a fountain that would look good in old world Italy 100 years ago) -- the smell is a bit much when trying to enjoy breakfast.
Did I report this? Yes, to the smiling young desk clerk the morning of my 2nd day. I had printed out a nicely worded list of the items above that actually could have gotten addressed. His reply: Well, we will be undergoing a huge renovation this year. (sigh on my part -- what about us who are staying here right now?) "Well, we're getting the big screen TV's in now!" -- I'll sacrifice a flat screen TV for a clean room.
