Our stay at the Pierce Hotel had hi-lights and lowlights. I’ll detail them so one knows when booking.
Highlights:
- [ ] Great location
- [ ] Convenient
- [ ] Bedding was nice, crisp & clean
- [ ] Check in & out went very smooth, no concerns. Directions were clear & simple.
Lowlights
- [ ] The condo is not bright & appealing like it is in the photos. The place is very well used (scuff marks all over walls, paint chips, tired looking couch with cigarette burns and it was very dark
- [ ] A number of things did not work in our unit such as:
- [ ] Clothes dryer-only blew out cold air. It took 2 days for our clothes to dry
- [ ] the bathroom sink was plugged and would not drain when you ran the water to brush your teeth
- [ ] the bathroom fan did not work
- [ ] There was only 1 remote that worked for both the living room & bedroom tv’s
- [ ] the Tassimo coffee maker would not dispense coffee unless the button was held done continuously until the cup was full
- [ ] Cleanliness:
Kitchen-When we arrived, aesthetically, everything looked clean however, upon closer inspection, we noticed the same concerns that were raised by other guests were also the same concerns we had. The area where the salt & pepper were kept were full of salt & pepper remnants, the area where the toaster was, had crumbs surrounding it, the smaller island had sticky spots on top in different areas & the fridge was full of little crumbs & a left over child’s cup with dried milk or something (I did not touch it). Possibly from the guests before us? This told us things were not properly wiped down & sanitized from the guests prior. In this day & age with Covid 19 etc, this is an IMPORTANT step that cannot be missed.
- [ ]There was a garbage can in the kitchen that was missing the swinging lid to cover the top, therefore our garbage was left exposed. - [ ] There were no garbage bags left as stated so we purchased some & left them.
- [ ] Laundry & dish soap-we stayed 4 nights, 5 days. I found 2 laundry tabs in jars (that had liquified) & 2 dishwasher tabs. We purchased a small bag of each & left the remaining tabs there for future guests.
- [ ] Bedroom-the bedding was nice & clean. 2 sets of towels per guest which was good. Appreciated the laundry basket in the bedroom closet for collecting dirty laundry.
- [ ] For utensils, plates & such, we found 2 small teacups, 1 martini glass, 2 juice glasses. & that’s it. Utensils-not even close to a full set-2 forks, 6 butter knives, 3 tbsp, 2 plastic knives & 1 small ikea pairing knife. No teaspoons. There were some cooking utensils, approx 6 dinner plates & 3 side plates, a cpl pots, a baking dish & a larger bowl along with a few other things, but nothing like a “set” of something, rather random items.
- [ ] Dyson Vacuum-was happy to see this however was disgustingly clogged-I couldn’t even use it & it was very evident it had been like that for a while.
- [ ] The building itself is rather rough looking and going through some interior renovations it looks like. Partial paint on walls in lobby area
- [ ] Would I stay here again? No. For the $ being charged, the pictures & descriptions on the website, this is not somewhere I would choose again.
