Stayed here during Thanksgiving weekend. Hotwire rated it as a 3.5* hotel which was generous. It would be worth this rating only if everything is hitting on all cylinders. The problem with this hotel is that it is inconsistent. Your experience can be a 2.5* or a 3.5*, I guess that means it is likely a 3* place.
The Hotel is two 3 story buildings laid out in a V, the middle of the V is a covered Atrium where the pool and spa is located. One building is numbered 100, 200, 300 the other building is numbered 400, 500, 600.
We checked in on Thanksgiving day, the place was packed due to a college basketball event in the area, so there were several teams staying a the hotel. We got room 208. The building looked very dated, the carpet in the hall was was stained and the entire floor smelled of smoke. Our room looked like any Holiday Inn room, with an outdated CRT TV with few channels, stained carpet and a dorm fridge randomly thrown in the room. The toilet in the bathroom was leaking from the bottom!
The next day, we asked to be moved into a "quiet" room in the other building (Buchanan) room 354. This room had been updated with newer furniture and a LCD TV. The carpet was still nasty with a bright red stain near the foot of the bed.
The maid service was also hit and miss. Each day we never knew what they were going to miss. One day, there was no coffee and sugar. The next day was no face towels. For the so called 3.5* or even a 3 start hotel, these kinds of careless mishaps should not happen on a daily bases!
In summary, this place has the necessary facilities to be a really first class hotel, but a lack of consistent service and attention to detail will keep it in the minor leagues.
Room Tip: Ask to stay in the 500 to 600 numbered rooms

I appreciate your comments regarding your stay with us over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I will first apologize and assure you we take your critical comments seriously and will follow up. Our managers and staff have worked hard to achieve our number one rating with Trip Advisor in our market and we will continue to do so as we grow and make changes. I hear your comments on the facility and will share some exciting good news with our planned changes for 2011 and early 2012. We are doing a complete renovation of guest wing corridors, in the style set by our new lobby, a guest room refresh and replacing old TV's with new and larger flat screen HD units. We are also converting our few remaining smoking rooms and we will be 100% smoke free. We believe our people "Make the difference" and our "Heart Beat team" will be reviewing your notes on inconsistant housekeeping service through inspection. You are correct on your facility notes and with these changes and our promise of consistant service delivery I would hope to get another chance to earn your stay of choice decision the next time you are in the Concord area. We are making some exciting changes and we are eager to share with everyone.
