This was my experience:
Upon arrival, the 300 pound clerk in sweats hacked and snorted her way through my check in. She admitted having the flu and, sure enough, I got to spend my first week churning through tissues and cold medicine.
OK, we don’t expect the Ritz, but here’s the pros and cons relative to other business hotels:
Pros:
Convenient location near the base. Key worked. Apartment-size refrigerator. Two-Burner stove.
Dishes to prepare a meal for two. One-time fee for Wireless internet – good as long as you stay.
Cons:
Housekeeping and fresh linens only one day per week. No clothes hangers (yes, I tried asking). No shampoo or other toiletries upon arrival (shampoo available at front desk upon request). No dish soap (available upon request). Poor temperature control for heater. Want in-room coffee after day 2 - better buy your own coffee and filters. No TV remote (available upon request). TV is a 21” CRT, No HD here, 5 ESPN channels, 2 Showtimes, but no CNBC. No fitness center/pool (gym up the street is complimentary). No restaurant. No loyalty program to earn points. Stained and dirty carpets in hallway and room. Very blah décor. You can’t fit the room key in your wallet.
I’ve had worse stays, but this hotel just didn’t live up to the minimums I would expect when travelling on business. Just realize what you’re giving up next time you try to save your company a few bucks.
