text: This could be the most generous star review I have ever given The Blake is a dumpy hotel that has been partially renovated to be slightly less than dumpy nnIf you never left the lobbybar area you would think you were in a halfway decent hotel But Eventually you make your way to your room and the facade fades as soon as you step off the elevator on your floor based on the tired dirty carpet and spots on the walls The rooms have flat screens and remodeled bathrooms with fancy basins half glass shower door etc The king bed in our room had ill fitting almost threadbare sheets and there is just a general sense of disrepair with things like chipped paint and water stains on the ceiling nnTo their credit though the front desk staff on arrival was pleasant professional and quite helpful Props to Adam in particular We were using a Groupon and the promised champagne was chilling in our room when we arrived They also have a shuttle that will take and pick you up win a three mile radius These are the things that pushed me to a three Groupon or not it is highly doubtful we will stay again though
