I read the other review and decided to stay here regardless for the location. My business was out of the city but I find the outer hotels kind of boring. I rented a car so when I arrive I didn't stop at the check-in area but just went straight to the garage automated machine. I started to proceed and the valet rushed out asked if I was a guest. I said I was and inquired as to the best level to park on due to the other reviews about the very slow service elevator. He said the best option was to park on level 3 and walk up to level 4 (20 small steps) and take the regular elevators. What a time saver! I never had a problem parking up there (all the employees do) and never took the service elevator which he volunteered was very slow. Checked in for an executive room and got a corner in the back with a decent view, however the room was not made up yet. The housekeeping staff was still working the floor, so I spoke to a housekeeper (very friendly), dropped my stuff, and went out for some groceries. The room was large and the interior in an orange motif, which frankly I found appealing. The second day the ceiling in my bathroom developed a leak due to a clogged air conditioning overflow valve. The maintenance crew was prompt in fixing the problem and they told me that hotel was built in 1967, so these issues are ongoing. If your a priority club member (free) then you get 2 free drink and breakfast coupons each day, that you must get at the reception each day. Exercise equipment is antiquated (old universal type machine) and the treadmill belt slipping. This is a decent hotel in a good location and I recommend it if you get a good rate like I did of $83 a night (govt. rate through their website). Definitely go up the alley next to the hotel and have some ribs! Delicious!
