144,175,654 | 38EF701A607CE0FA559923116BF16298 | So bad I couldn't stay there. | This is a disgusting property. It is run-down, it smells, and is poorly maintained. Ramada should be ashamed, yes ASHAMED, to have its name on this property. I prepaid for two nights on Hotels.com, but after 5 minutes in the place, I left and forfeited my money and went to the Hampton next door. It was that bad. It smelled old and moldy. The decks were of wood and felt unsafe. I will probably never stay at a Ramada again, based on how I feel today. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2,012 | 2012-10-31T00:00:00 | 1 | So bad I couldn't stay there.

141,375,523 | FAC11F65DD89CA5C631A4144B417DB0C | I will always come back | I just stayed one night at the Omni Hotel because in the first hotel I wasn't able to close the windows. With the extremelzy loud outside traffik was it impossible to sleep.
This hotel here has very nice staff members. The desk clerk was the friendliest of them all.
She was patient because of my untrained English.
The lobby is a very nice place to hang out and realax or to meet interessting people.
I felt at home at all times. Its at a great location to.
My room had a nice King sized bed, a somewhat small bathroom, a flat TV set, a coffee maker, a fridge, a safe, an iron
ad two beautiful mirrors. There was a basket with snacks and refreshements. Even a swiss Toblerone chocolate bar.
The highspeed internet is really high speed. Like I am used to at home.
And for me the most important thing was that i could sleep loke a baby without being disturbed from the outside street nor the air conditioning system.
You have to stay in this hotel. It's a mist for everyone. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-09-26T00:00:00 | 1 | I will always come back

The rooms were spacious and well appointed. There is free car parking, free wifi and free breakfast. Its a 5 minute walk to the walk of fame and there is an In an Out burger next door, an Ihop and Subway across the road aswell as numerous other take aways and convienince stores. Its a great place to stay while in holywood. I dont remeber what it cost but as mentioned, we were intending to stay at a backpackers so Im sure it was not very expensive. There is also a pool which is bonus. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-07-02T00:00:00 | 1 | Fantastic

125,642,074 | 91AD3F5056E53685258AFB5BC7318B1B | Good for Business or Holiday | We stayed here for a weekend while visiting some friends in Austin. The hotel is conveniently located in the Arboretum and you can walk to some of the shops.
Because this is more a business hotel, it's stocked with all the necessary comforts. The rooms are big and the decoration is modern.
They do offer a continental breakfast and the option for a paid hot breakfast. In my opinion, the hot breakfast was not worth the price (unless you are just in a hurry and need the convenience).
I would definitely stay here again. | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-03-05T00:00:00 | 1 | Good for Business or Holiday

142,166,951 | CEEA937FD4D0920250CD7D133D15818D | Anemic air conditioning | Spent 1 night there between flights (actually, more like 8 hrs), so didn't see much of the hotel in gen'l. AC in my room was pretty much useless-just ran & ran but didn't seem to really reduce the temperature. Bathroom is among the smallest I've ever seen-you can either sit on the toilet or have the door open, but can't do both. Did not sleep well, but I suspect that was more a reflection of the time of flights than anything else. It's fine for a pit stop between flights, but would not want to stay there long-term. | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2,012 | 2012-10-06T00:00:00 | 1 | Anemic air conditioning

144,469,481 | 557AB239B5E89CF2379388DA9F63BDEF | Good location, clean room | Stayed here for 3 nights in October. We got a great deal on their website, stay 2 nights and get the 3rd night free when you pay in advance. Our double executive room was clean and comfortable, the only complaint I have is that the sliding bathroom door did not close completely, leaving at least 3 inches of space with a clear view into the bathroom for anyone walking by the door. I am always surprised when a hotel charges for WiFi these days and I think that $12.95 is an absurd amount to charge for a wireless connection. Hotels like this would be so much better received if they just included this fee in their price for the room. The only positive thing I have to add about their WiFi is that it is for 24 hours, not by the calendar day, but by the clock. So, when it initiated at 11pm on Friday, it went through to 11pm on Saturday. I also think that $20 for a 6-cup pot of coffee via room service is a rip off and would have made our own had there been a coffee maker in the room. Why are there no coffee maker in their rooms? One of the duvet covers on one of the beds had a tear in it that was clearly noticeable and should have been replaced. We did not complain about it but were surprised that housekeeping would continue to use it. I don’t know if there is a club lounge at this location, we were on a Preferred Guest level, but never told by the staff if they had a club lounge or not. We did not find one when we looked. Other than these small things, we were quite satisfied with our stay and enjoyed the great view of the bay from our room. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-11-04T00:00:00 | 1 | Good location, clean room

Nice room with separate living area 2 TV's and then sep bath also small kitchenette with microwave wet bar and a small eating area. Wonderfully comfortable bed with pristine white sheets and duvet . The staff were so helpful and each one that you came across said good morning etc and smiled . Breakfast was much more than a normal Hampton inn breakfast with 2 hot dishes each morning and then the normal waffle fruit toasts muffins etc. all in all a wonderful stay and will definitely stay here again- also tons of restaurants in walking distance and short walk to Michigan ave - I will mention the fire station we only heard the sirens up to about 10.30 pm and never after that time so that was not a problem at all | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-11-08T00:00:00 | 1 | Excellent stay -Great staff

140,339,698 | 4E604C98C5D32A18F7FF800CF5A231CA | Good Location Close to Transport | Stayed 13th to 16th Aug - The hotel is a short walk from the subway station with trains direct from O'Hare. It was perfect for recovering from jet lag, the room was dark and quiet. You can work to the Mag Mile and nearby attractions. Whilst the rooms are a little dated they were value for money. There are not alot of restaurants nearby to choose from but the Sports bar across the road was nice and handy for a drink and quick bite after a long day of sightseeing, if you want fine dining then you will need to use transport (not sure what the hotel restaurant is like). | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-09-15T00:00:00 | 1 | Good Location Close to Transport

139,119,589 | A7C5229D0C27A7AEA37BF781DD2A828E | Average business hotel | During the summer months, most Del Mar/La Jolla area hotels raise their prices and I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel room. I chose to stay at the Doubletree because they had a great room promotion, only $95/night if you prepaid your room in full. I'm glad I didn't pay their regular rate which would be about twice as much. The room and bathroom were very clean, and the furniture was ok. The bathroom door was a large, heavy sliding door which was almost impossible to move, and had peeling paint and wouldn't close all the way. The light in the bathroom buzzed loudly and I had to turn it off at times or it would drive me crazy. I expected more from a hotel which caters to the business crowd.
On a Tuesday night around 4 am, my third night there, I woke up to pounding on my door, someone trying to break into my room. They were trying to unlock my door with a key card, and trying to open the door. I got up and yelled at them to leave, and after what seemed like several minutes, the person (probably drunk), started pounding on the door of the room next to mine. A few minutes later he says 'sorry' and goes on to the next room. I know this isn't the hotel's fault, but that gives you an idea of their clientele.
I missed having a refrigerator, a microwave, and free wi-fi. The free parking was a plus, as was their signature chocolate chip cookie. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 2,012 | 2012-09-02T00:00:00 | 1 | Average business hotel

136,093,091 | B966B6B34D6F2B0FBF2AA4A12CC7F1F3 | Awful Experience; couldn't wait to get out of there. | Staff was often not available at front desk; no one would answer the phone; front door was often locked. When staff was available in the office, they didn't always come to the front desk. They would yell from around the corner of the wall instead of look you in the face.
When something was requested (like an extra blanket), it was not provided by the staff. We asked for more towels, the staff member just gave us the key and told us to go get it ourselves from the store room.
Hotel was under construction (July 2012 was when we stayed) and we were not warned when we made our reservations; furniture and trash littered the hotel courtyard and construction workers would linger after hours in the courtyard. Staff member told us that they wouldn't work on construction until 11AM to 7PM at night; however bright and early at 8AM the workers were pounding away on the room above us.
Hotel was supposed to service breakfast, the front office was always locked until 9am or later, only prepackaged danishes were served (no coffee or juice).
Overall, We had a very poor experience with the staff at this hotel and general appearance of the facility. We will never be staying here again and will not recommend it to anyone. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2,012 | 2012-08-02T00:00:00 | 1 | Awful Experience; couldn't wait to get out of there.

144,218,363 | F675A6704CB481BC5C48A681B0BDB7F9 | A nice place | This was my second hotel on my trip. It has a nice light and airy feel to it. On my arrival one of the lifts wasn't working - which was a pain. When I arrived in my room I noticed that I had someone else's luggage. As it happened these people were part of my tour group and on the same floor. I nabbed a member of staff - who was very helpful and we duly sorted it out. Having said that a couple in our group had their luggage sent to a wrong room. The occupants of this room were not in our group and had gone out for the day. To compound this they returned and went out for dinner without checking on the luggage. Our tour rep was frantic as were the couple whose luggage had vanished as we were travelling to Las Vegas in the morning. This was an unnecessary worry frankly. I had a nice big room and what was especially pleasing was that I had a sitting area with a couch and coffee table. I never used the restaurant in the evening but I did have room service and it was excellent. It was nice being able to lay all the food on the table. | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-11-01T00:00:00 | 1 | A nice place

132,704,398 | 6E202A1319F4346C6E934E9B6F6DE4AA | Nice central hotel with good breakfast | We stayed 9 days at the Park South Hotel and were quite happy with the Stay.
We got a "handicap room" with a king size bed so the room was quite large. Everything was working fine, with nice chairs, bed, table and bath room plus a quite big flat screen in front of the bed.
The Breakfast was great from a NY standard - nothing like a good breakfast in a northen European hotel - but from a NY hotel this is the best I have seen. It included a large selection of bagels, croissants, danish, bread, 3 kind of sliced cheese, ham, peparoni, fruits, some serial and hard boiled egg.
The hotel is old and so is the inside and furniture - but everything works.
The employees were very helpfull, smiling and they liked to please their customers.
The location is right between downtown and central park and line 6 in the subway is less than 50 meters from the hotel. Empire, 5th Avenue and Union Square is within 5-10 min walking distance.
The only complaint was that one of the 2 elevators was beeing repaired (for all 9 days...) so the remaining elevator was quite busy which gave some waiting time. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-06-25T00:00:00 | 1 | Nice central hotel with good breakfast

126,235,441 | 59BF7B050D83729E21DF5F5D49025689 | The employees are well trained in customer service | Kuddos to the employee trainers at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Nearly all employees, with whom I had contact, were friendly, helpful and engaged in their job. As my spouse attended a large, scientific meeting, I interacted with many of the employees during three, rainy days in San Francisco. How often is one impressed with a young, technician upgrading TV software? I was! The maintenance person, who responded to my call regarding the hair dryer, was delightful. Housekeeping was exceedingly friendly as well. I saw several training sessions for new employees taking place and I sat adjacent to a job interview one afternoon. Yes, I was eavesdropping. Lol! The Marriott interviewer was very professional as was the young candidate.
Our room, 7072 was on the top floor of the original building which probably dates to the 1970s. Newer additions have been built above the original hotel. The classic Marriott atrium still exists. Not much can be done to improve 1970 rooms. Granite can be added to the bathroom countertops, but the bathrooms will remain small. Our room was a corner room with 4 large windows on two sides. There was extra space, but it was not useable; just a longer hallway along a bank of windows.
Clearly, this is a major, business hotel with an outstanding location. The Moscone Center is one-half block across Mission Street. Bloomingdale's is one-half block up Mission Street. The dining possibilities within a few blocks are outstanding. The Fitness Center is adequate with a good number of treadmills and bikes. Free weights, exercise balls & mats are in a smaller area of the center. We did not use the pool, which is on the 4th floor, but we could see it from our room hallway. It looked to be a decent size and there was a large jacuzzi adjacent to the pool. I spent a great deal of time in the "work areas" of the lobby. There is a good combination of chairs, sofas, low tables, high work tables with bar chairs, outlets, flat screen TVs, etc. I refuse to pay for internet access and thus did my work in these areas with free wifi. The connection speed was very good.
Our one experience with 'bar food" was dismal. We ordered a hummus plate with pita and a club sandwich one evening from Bin 55, the lobby bar. Ugh! Stale sandwich and stale pita! Others must have enjoyed Bin 55 as there was a crowd every evening. The breakfast buffet on the seond floor is pricey, $25 per person. The food was good and the selection of items.was excellent.
This was a business trip for my spouse. We did not pay for the hotel. Location was the first priority. The staff made my experience very positive. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-03-17T00:00:00 | 1 | The employees are well trained in customer service
Kuddos to the employee trainers at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Nearly all employees, with whom I had contact, were friendly, helpful and engaged in their job. As my spouse attended a large, scientific meeting, I interacted with many of the employees during three, rainy days in San Francisco. How often is one impressed with a young, technician upgrading TV software? I was! The maintenance person, who responded to my call regarding the hair dryer, was delightful. Housekeeping was exceedingly friendly as well. I saw several training sessions for new employees taking place and I sat adjacent to a job interview one afternoon. Yes, I was eavesdropping. Lol! The Marriott interviewer was very professional as was the young candidate.
Our room, 7072 was on the top floor of the original building which probably dates to the 1970s. Newer additions have been built above the original hotel. The classic Marriott atrium still exists. Not much can be done to improve 1970 rooms. Granite can be added to the bathroom countertops, but the bathrooms will remain small. Our room was a corner room with 4 large windows on two sides. There was extra space, but it was not useable; just a longer hallway along a bank of windows.
Clearly, this is a major, business hotel with an outstanding location. The Moscone Center is one-half block across Mission Street. Bloomingdale's is one-half block up Mission Street. The dining possibilities within a few blocks are outstanding. The Fitness Center is adequate with a good number of treadmills and bikes. Free weights, exercise balls & mats are in a smaller area of the center. We did not use the pool, which is on the 4th floor, but we could see it from our room hallway. It looked to be a decent size and there was a large jacuzzi adjacent to the pool. I spent a great deal of time in the "work areas" of the lobby. There is a good combination of chairs, sofas, low tables, high work tables with bar chairs, outlets, flat screen TVs, etc. I refuse to pay for internet access and thus did my work in these areas with free wifi. The connection speed was very good.
Our one experience with 'bar food" was dismal. We ordered a hummus plate with pita and a club sandwich one evening from Bin 55, the lobby bar. Ugh! Stale sandwich and stale pita! Others must have enjoyed Bin 55 as there was a crowd every evening. The breakfast buffet on the seond floor is pricey, $25 per person. The food was good and the selection of items.was excellent.

142,428,826 | 7BAA8F42C379D7948988874FA699DA33 | great weekend (stayed for the Chicago Marathon) | I enjoy staying with Starwood hotels and booked this one after reading great reviews. Albeit on the expensive side, most of the hotels were in the similar price range for Marathon Weekend.
This well-maintained modern looking hotel is north of the Chicago River. It's in a nice location and walking distance to a lot of places from restaurants to shopping to the theatre district and to Grant Park.
The front of the line staff were amazing, and accommodated our early arrival and our request for late check-outs. Also, it was a nice personal touch to hear an actual person's voice on the other line for our wake-up calls.
Housekeeping restocked our toiletry supplies and our endless request for coffee packets. ($4 for a cup of Starbucks brewed coffee in the hotel restaurant!)
pros:
clean spacious rooms, with a lounge seating area by the window.
comfortable beds with plenty of pillows to choose from.
bathroom is huge with a large soaker tub.
great workout/fitness center.
cons:
I enjoy a hot shower, so was kind of disappointed in the lack of.
there weren't any washroom fan/timer(s).
swimming pool is in a sister hotel. | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-10-09T00:00:00 | 1 | great weekend (stayed for the Chicago Marathon)

127,182,424 | 86273049FE1726F659971DF462ADB6FF | Awesome service in an OK hotel | The positive first. The people are great and easily the friendliest I've seen and I travel a lot. Their front desk clerks were great and injected a sense of humor when I checked in, and when I had issues the manager got involved to solve them. The workout room is small but modern, having 3 treadmills, 2 stair climbers, a bike, weight rack and circuit machine. It's light and open, and right off the lobby. I had breakfast in the hotel. Dee was the waitress and was very good, one of the most helpful waitress I've ever had in a hotel restaurant. I wish all the hotels had staff like this. She had a lot of tables but added a personal touch to all that I saw her talk to. She even came up and offered a to-go coffee without being asked. Small, but appreciated.
Other good things: free parking, free internet that was actually fast, a nice business center and shoe shine services.
The not so good. The first room I got had a horrible smell of an orange based cleaner. Actually gave me a pretty bad headache. I called down to get moved and the manager came up and we went to several rooms until I found one I liked. They all were good except the original one, but I had a king bed and the others had 2 full beds, so we were searching for another king. (there's the service side again) Once I got into the second room the remote didn't work, so they brought up another, and it stopped working as well. The ink in the printer was out so my boarding pass will have to be reprinted, but I'm headed down to see if another printer has been freed up.
Summary, the hotel is a "3", but the people boost it up to a "3 1/2" star. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-04-03T00:00:00 | 1 | Awesome service in an OK hotel

The rooms are very modern, though are a little small. They do a great job from the time you check in until you leave. They offer some unique packages like a walking tour kit that includes borrowing an iPod with pre-recorded stops for the city you are in. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. The LCD TV in the room was good but many of the channels on the lower end of the dial had a very poor signal, but that is probably because they were analog and it was a digital tv. I never got a chance to check out the work out center or the outdoor pool (not open yet). The price was pretty high, but that is to be expected two blocks from the capital. | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-03-19T00:00:00 | 1 | Very nice stay close to all of the good stuff.

Check-in a dream, and I was treated and addressed by staff like royalty. Some how I scored a room on the 19th floor, requiring a special key making me feel more and more special At the room, when we opened the door I was struck the giant light and airy space, over 600 sq ft.

On my last trip, I wanted to download some podcasts for the traffic-heavy drive to LA. The free wifi in the lobby is fine for normal websurfing, but too busy/slow to download biggish files quickly. I asked the Whatever/Whenever desk for help, and they could have shrugged and said "sorry" -- which would have been the easy thing to do. Instead, they let me into a conference room to use the Meeting room wifi and I was on the road in 5 minutes instead of 35 minutes. Is that a huge deal? No, not in the grand scheme, but it saved me a lot of time and agony -- and I really appreciated it. | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-02-03T00:00:00 | 1 | W San Diego -- typically great service

139,950,889 | 5B7C1BE894B89504BC87B235E55A0A00 | I like the charm of this hotel | I like the Old World charm of this hotel. It has a really nice lobby area and a lot of details are still there from years ago. Even though we had a large upgraded room, it really needs an update-mostly in the bathroom area. For some reason our room had two bathrooms. One had a tub/shower combo and the other had the smallest shower ever! One nice bathroom would have been better. The tile is old and the doors/trim have been painted over so many times--they really need to be stripped down and refinished. The room had the strangest odor too-like body odor or something-not to mention the weak air conditioning. We set the thermostat at 64 degrees and it was not really cool at all. I have to say the staff is really nice and helpful. Our room was not cleaned at all the first day and I called to complain. After waiting a while for some towels, I called back and spoke to the manager Luis. He apologized and offered us breakfast the next morning. It was a wonderful buffet. Thank you, Luis! It still took a while to get the towels, but for some reason they had changed the room numbers and no one knew where the room was.
The hotel is located in a good location-It is close to Newbury street and shopping, the T-stop, the Boston Common. We even walked over to the movie theater nearby. There is an Au bon Pain around the corner and they even sell coffee/bagels/fruit in the hotel lobby in the morning-very reasonably priced. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-09-10T00:00:00 | 1 | I like the charm of this hotel

146,700,012 | 1ED80BC15F8D846236435459F22ED27D | Very good value | I was very pleased with the Beacon. I particularly liked the comfortable bed. Its white bedspread was, to me, a statement about the hotel's commitment to keeping things laundered frequently. There was some construction noise from a nearby project, but that is pretty much par for the course in Washington, DC.
The Beacon's location is very good. While it is not super close to any one Metro stop, it is easy walking distance to several stops on several lines. On a nice day, you can walk to pretty much anywhere in DC from the hotel.
My only complaint would be that the heating and cooling systems are quite noisy. I ended up turning mine off at night, but this would not be an option in the summer.

137,541,745 | FB3A594767335497BD3F5B651B0365D4 | Historic Property That Impresses | This was my 3rd trip to Chicago this year, my friend's first time, and I got us booked in the Blackstone off of Priceline.
I had read some info in this historic hotel after winning it and just the history alone about this landmark made me impressed and interested in staying here. We flew into Midway, got us each a 3-day transit pass for $14 and took the Orange Line "L" to Roosevelt station and it was a nice, easy 4 block walk up Wabash to Balbo. Check-in was great. We could not believe the decor in the lobby. It did not at all have a feel of a chain hotel. Now although others complained about the slow check-in, I liked the fact that it was not a long counter that is seen in other hotels. There were 3 different kiosk type counters and the staff were terrific. I till cannot get over the cool feel of the lobby. There is a gold sofa in front of a pool table. There is a Navigator who will help you with any info you need.
The room we got was a Room With A View and what a view of Buckingham Fountain and Lake Michigan. The room was spacious, clean, had a mini fridge in it. There is a Starbucks at street level but only stayed open til 6pm, which made no sense really. The area does get quiet at night, but it is safe to walk up Michigan Ave as there are people still walking around. We never did feel unsafe walking anywhere around The Loop area at night.
If you like a comfy, quaint place then The Blackstone is the place. The staff are all so nice and fun to talk to as well. I seen many people just lounging around in the lobby on the many old style chairs and sofas. It is a hotel with a nice comfortable feel. And to know that this was THE hotel to stay at back in the day. That was a cool impression as well in a city with a ton of history. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-08-18T00:00:00 | 1 | Historic Property That Impresses

146,916,408 | E268EFACFB976C451326C3963F7531B0 | doesn't live up to the "regency" name | Typically when you hear of a Hyatt Regency you immediately expect a bit more. Not at this place. It's very grand when you walk in the front door but that's about it. The hotel is very old looking and dated. 70's mustard colored walls, carpet and curtains in the rooms. For this being in the DTC area, I'd expect them to more tech friendly. If you have electronics, bring your own power supply. I had to unplug the lamp just so I could charge my laptop and phone at the same time. The remote and keyboard for the tv is more of a pain than anything. The remote has a roller ball mouse on it which is great in theory but not if it doesn't work! I had to carry around the remote AND keyboard just to watch the tv. The deadbolt to my door didn't work and it looks like they may know that so there was an old chain slide lock added on. The air in my room also didn't work. Besides the fact that it didn't work, my corner room was so small I had to move the desk to get the chair out to get to the AC unit to adjust the temperature. If there is more than one person in your party, the corner room is probably not going to work for you. In addition, there was rust in the shower and some strange white stuff all over the bathroom walls.
The room service choices were also very few and poor. I think the condition of the hotel is reflected in the questionably low price per night for this place.
I've stayed at the Hyatt Place hotels also and I think that was much more of a value. Because this has the name "regency" that's evidently the ok to charge you extra for everything. $5 bottle water, you have to pay to park, pay for wireless internet, etc. If you're a business traveler, ask about the "business plan" upon checkin. It's $25 and includes parking, breakfast, internet, water and dry cleaning.
I also didn't like the fact that once you're actually a guest and park in the parking garage you essentially have to use the back door to get to the elevators and parking garage. You're never acknowledged by the staff because no one sees you coming or going (also a safety issue).
I was less than impressed with this hotel. I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn the night after my stay here and I was 100x more impressed with that hotel than this Hyatt Regency. It's way overdue for a complete makeover. | 3 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-12-06T00:00:00 | 1 | doesn't live up to the "regency" name
Typically when you hear of a Hyatt Regency you immediately expect a bit more. Not at this place. It's very grand when you walk in the front door but that's about it. The hotel is very old looking and dated. 70's mustard colored walls, carpet and curtains in the rooms. For this being in the DTC area, I'd expect them to more tech friendly. If you have electronics, bring your own power supply. I had to unplug the lamp just so I could charge my laptop and phone at the same time. The remote and keyboard for the tv is more of a pain than anything. The remote has a roller ball mouse on it which is great in theory but not if it doesn't work! I had to carry around the remote AND keyboard just to watch the tv. The deadbolt to my door didn't work and it looks like they may know that so there was an old chain slide lock added on. The air in my room also didn't work. Besides the fact that it didn't work, my corner room was so small I had to move the desk to get the chair out to get to the AC unit to adjust the temperature. If there is more than one person in your party, the corner room is probably not going to work for you. In addition, there was rust in the shower and some strange white stuff all over the bathroom walls.
The room service choices were also very few and poor. I think the condition of the hotel is reflected in the questionably low price per night for this place.
I've stayed at the Hyatt Place hotels also and I think that was much more of a value. Because this has the name "regency" that's evidently the ok to charge you extra for everything. $5 bottle water, you have to pay to park, pay for wireless internet, etc. If you're a business traveler, ask about the "business plan" upon checkin. It's $25 and includes parking, breakfast, internet, water and dry cleaning.
I also didn't like the fact that once you're actually a guest and park in the parking garage you essentially have to use the back door to get to the elevators and parking garage. You're never acknowledged by the staff because no one sees you coming or going (also a safety issue).

141,830,692 | 9811E01E2F2C7E7A8BF7DC5A295F366C | Excellent Comfort and Service | Though I only had an overnight stay, my experience at the Four Seasons Denver was excellent. The corner room was beautiful and well decorated with muted colors. The bed was extremely comfortable with quality bedding and pillows. The bathroom was well appointed with soft robes and L'Occitane bath products. The bathtub was an amazing treat and the shower was first rate with a round waterfall shower head. The toilet was in its own enclosed compartment. Double sinks and an in-mirror television were nice as well. A choice of free morning newspapers is available delivery to your door. I ordered my breakfast in and was delighted with the timeliness of the service as well as the presentation of the meal (eggs, bacon, fruit, yogurt, tea, orange juice, croissant). The food was absolutely delicious and I ate every bite. The floor that I was on was quiet the whole time I was there. There were three tiers of internet service, one free and two with a charge. I used the free one and it was fine for my minimal use. Every staff member that we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Only two minor issues for me. First, there is not a full length mirror in the room that I could find. I was able to use the reflection in the shower glass but it is not the same as a mirror. Second, we went to the bar in the evening and service was so slow that we had to pick up our drink orders from the bar instead of having the server bring them to us. There was a crowd so it was understandable, I guess. Overall, this hotel provided every amenity with style and class and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Denver area. | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-10-02T00:00:00 | 1 | Excellent Comfort and Service

144,999,759 | E56D954E24827ADAEFDDB46A84AB7020 | 2nd Time and Still Very Good | We stayed here last year and decided to stay again as we had a good experience. We are a family of 2 adults and a 2 year old. We like having a separate living room area so we can have our son in another room for a more peaceful nights sleep. The rooms are huge and well equipped - the only complaint about the rooms is that the decor is very drab - lots of brown.
The breakfast is great and it's nice to find somewhere that includes breakfast in the price. There is a great selection including a cooked breakfast and cereals, yoghurts, breads etc. A bigger selection of fruit would have been appreciated, but then we were in the minority. Most people were eating the fried food (and lots of it)! The managers reception in the evening is also a nice touch.
Check in and out was easy enough and the valet parking was straight forward. Yes it is expensive, but can anyone tell me where you can find it cheaper in a location like this? The location of this hotel is perfect. It's right next to Sea Port village and it's a few blocks walk to the Gaslamp area. We didn't want to be in the middle of it all and staying somewhere a bit quieter was appreciated.
The only real complaint was the booking process. I was shopping around to get the best price, and phoned up the hotel direct. The woman told me that if I booked directly with them they would be able to guarantee a cot for my son, whereas if we booked through a 3rd party, they could only request it and not guarantee it. So we booked direct and then when the email confirmation came through, it said a cot had been requested but it wasn't guaranteed. When I phoned back I was told that they couldn't guarantee them (which is not ideal when you're flying from the UK and can't bring one with you). The manager though did sort everything out for us though, and upgraded our room by way of an apology, so great on customer service. We will be back if we're in San Diego again. | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-11-09T00:00:00 | 1 | 2nd Time and Still Very Good

LOCATION, LOCATION and LOCATION, The hotel is located not far from Time Square and every where else you need to go in New York City. The club floor was AWESOME. Each night up to 10pm we had a glass of wine and enjoyed the skyline view above from the outdoor club deck. They have a nicely laid out spread from the Continental Breakfast in the morning to afternoon tea and fruit and freshly baked cookies to the evening Hors d' oeuvres and late night snacks. Well worth the extra money. The rooms are great, clean and well appointed. Staff was great and could not do enough to make our stay a great experience.
If you need a hotel this should be your fist and only choice.
The only downfall is the parking with the Valet, can be very expensive. (not run by the hotel)

The complimentary shuttle service is a big plus! You can call the hotel too pick you up within the downtown area 24 hours a day. Seemly convenient! Free breakfasts are served at the lobby area next to the front desk. I must say the spread is very decent given its free. Quality of food is not bad at all. There is a small pool and gym. However, do not expect room service. You can order your food from the front desk and pick them up later. No restaurant at this hotel. Room is spacious with king bed and a L-shaped couch area. No safe in room. Coin operated laundry facilities available on top floor.
This hotel has exceed my expectation and is value for money. I would return again. | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-06-30T00:00:00 | 1 | Surprisingly pleasant

127,031,193 | 655987081FD878F97527C52AB39E13DD | Great location, clean and friendly | My wife and I always view a hotel on vacation as a place to sleep, nothing more since we are out seeing the place we came to. With that said, this is not the Weston, but is was a clean, comfortable hotel. We paid just under $100 per night which is very inexpensive for downtown SF. The area was far enough from the Tenderloin to feel safe. It was a short 3 block walk to Union Square where we typically started our day on the Cable car headed some where. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. They let us check in at 10 am since they had a room, but even if they had not, they will keep you luggage for you until one is ready if you come early and want to go see the town. They kept our luggage for us all day of check out until 4pm with no charge (tip of course!) The continental breakfast was a typical one of muffins, pastry's, coffee and tea, some fresh fruit (cut melons, oranges and bananas). Although we never partook of it, they have an afternoon social of free wine and finger foods and pastries. We saw it the day we checked out and it looked very nice. We took a Lemo from the airport to the hotel, but took Bart back after we found it was a short walk to the station (maybe a mile...20 minutes slow walk). All in all absolutely a value for the price and I would say here again. It is an older building in the downtown area of a very busy city. If city noise is an issue for you to sleep ask for a high floor. Trucks abound delivering when there is not traffic in the middle of the night and early morning. | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-03-31T00:00:00 | 1 | Great location, clean and friendly

Really nice hotel with modern amenities, great designs in room, comfortable beds, terrific views of Boston. Walking distance to all, i.e. the Commons, TF Changs restaurant, Newbury Street....yet priced for only 179 dollars per night.
Ultimate in service....friendly desk staff, great doorman, parking is expensive so park at the Commons and walk to hotel after you checkin......loved it! | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-02-23T00:00:00 | 1 | Bost'on's best for a reasonable rate

145,568,312 | F6BFFE28A18B2C43C4DB353FFA6914A0 | Some Upscale amenities wrapped in very tired box | I have now stayed at this hotel 3 or 4 times and I am underwhelmed at the lack of attention to detail that this organization pretends to care about. This hotel is basically a reworked amerisuites shell that was re-purposed to the Hyatt Place brand of Hyatt hotels. While there are some very nice amenities such as the 42" flatscreen TV with some HD channels but no SciFi (or rather SyFy) or some other popular channels, there are very comfortable beds, but the rooms are cramped and overstuffed. Their "disability" rooms provide more room and a useable bathroom which is more than can be said for their "regular" rooms. I don't know who designed these rooms to fit in a warmed over old hotel chain's castoff buildings but he/she certainly could not have actually graduated architecture school. The building itself is sad. Even though the staff is cordial and quite helpful, the creaky elevators, scratched corridors, dark and worn rugs, and doors scream depression. The rooms themselves however are immaculate and appear to be very well maintained, up to the standards of higher star level hotels. Up until recently the "free breakfast" consisted of sugar laden junk cereals and some fruit with an optional small omelet for an extra 7 Bucks. Now they have an "improved" breakfast with some low carb alternatives, and eggs and other sorts of more protein based "egg McMuffin" style entries. And since they try to emulate McDonald's why do they give you fake cream with your coffee?? A high end hotel (as they like to describe themselves) should NOT be handing out coffee lightener with all its saturated fats, emulsifiers, mono and diglycerides, and not one real ingredient in the lot. Even McDonald's gives it's customers REAL cream with their coffee. I made a comment about the coffee creamer and was met with indifference. I would suggest they have cream on the table for those of us who do know the difference and would rather ingest real food. The coffee unfortunately is midwestern bland, and could be a richer brew for those of us from other places that understand and appreciate stronger more european style coffee flavors. A hotel of this sort should be aware that not all their guests are from "down the street". Instead of worrying about how much profit they can make substituting sugar and fake cream for real food, they should be offering more types of coffee and looking to leave a pleasant experience in their guest's throats. There is a small exercise room with some ok stuff in it. My further returns are in doubt at this point | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-11-17T00:00:00 | 1 | Some Upscale amenities wrapped in very tired box

131,740,977 | 0D8B5143551B4DDA42A3B1F20CF006FD | Excellent Hotel | We stayed at this hotel on the basis that it was the cheapest we could find without compromising too much on standards. At check in I was allocated the old wing and was concerned because so much had been said about this being inferior but the room was great. A good size and exceptionally clean with really comfortable beds and when night time came the best view ever across Manhattan. Every night I sat at the window and watched Manhattan light up - magic. Staff were excellent, helpful and polite and the bar staff made you feel really welcomed. Great place to pop in for a drink even if not staying at Skyline. Location was great and quick walk to Times Square, Subway, 42nd Street and 5th Avenue. Bus stops on all corners of the crossroads and by far the best way to see New York is by bus - you miss a lot by subway. We walked back from Times Square after 10pm a few times and very safe but as the Time square area ends at about 7th Avenue the last 2 blocks gives a feeling of being dark as the illuminated frontages are not there to give light and street lighting is minimal. Altogether a great place to stay and highly recommended. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-06-11T00:00:00 | 1 | Excellent Hotel

I asked for a government rate. He told me originally the price of the room is 189, so me paying 150 is a good deal and he cant give me a government rate because im a student there with a group. When I asked him about our previous conversation of the room being 110 he said that he didnt tell me that. I said oh yes you did. He said he would never have told me that. I would never spend 150 for a days Inn hotel. But everything else was booked and I had no choice to stay there. I do have to give them credit for a clean room. But there was no continental breakfast available to us. I was there on a photo workshop and I left the hotel everymorning at 730, and there was no breakfast available. I paid cash per day. On one of the days I gave him 180.00 and he did not have change, he said he would give me a credit for the next night. Well on my receipt for that day it said I paid him 172.00. I was like, I gave you 180 and this does not show a credit. So he took my receipt and hand wrote it on there that he owes me 8.00. I think these rooms are way over priced and I feel I was totally taken advantage of. He basically called me a liar about our previous conversation a month before. I will never ever stay at this days inn again. I could stay at a luxury hotel for the price I paid for this days inn. The website dosnt even have this hotel listed as 189.00.

No wireless in the rooms, just a single cable.
No robes
No refrigerator
No glasses (we did however give reception a call and they found some)
Breakfast was included...but it wasn't eatable. Scrambled eggs made from powdered egg. It truly was a Super 8 motel experience.
The staff did their best with a smile, but it was still a stock.
For the money there are plenty of real hotels around. | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-10-29T00:00:00 | 1 | A stay at a Super 8 but you get to pay $300 a night

147,736,405 | 17A32F4CBF25CA383306BBC9609ECCEC | breakfast witch | i loved the hotel, nice and cozy with a spanish style design. it was very clean with a comfortable bed, but i did not like the pillows. good thing there was a table for me to eat on. the shower was nice, but the sink vanity was too small. i had no place to put all of my makeup and girly stuff. the desk guy during the day was nice and very helpful, he even GAVE me a charger for my droid when mine would not work. the parking garage was a bit scary when youre driving in, it looks as though the gate is opening forward to hit your car. make sure u back up. but once youre in its a very secure lot.
two people on the staff i did not like: the desk guy at night. every time i would ask him a question he would answer in a baby-talk voice as if he was trying to flirt with me. it was as if he did not take me seriously because im a young woman staying alone, even though i paid just like everybody else.
the other lady i found abrasive was the breakfast lady. she is always in the breakfast room just standing there watching everybody, i never really saw her do anything productive besides try to give my waffle away to somebody else and turn someone away for food because they were there a second after 9:00 am, which is way too early for breakfast to end anyway. she really is not needed, ive stayed at many hotels and this is the first one ive seen with a watchdog at breakfast. also, the breakfast room is too small. a few times i had to stand to eat because all tables were full. and its so early that everyone is grouchy and just trying to get to the food damn near pushing eachother out of the way. there were no hot items except for the make your own waffle, but hey it is free. there were some healthy items such as fruits, whole wheat bread and yogurt.
overall i would stay again because i liked the room and location near plenty of shopping centers, restaurants, sunset and hollywood blvds. also great if you dont bring a car because a few different buses stop right outside. | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-12-19T00:00:00 | 1 | breakfast witch

142,892,115 | 080C74CC072A4DC90DC5F3FAE9416A7E | Great location,value for money | This is a very nice hotel.Used to be a bank,Go -1 and you can see the BIG old vaults and safes.The Staff were also very friendly and helpfull.
The lobby shows the grandeur for the older days and there is even an old car there.
The rooms are a bit dated but they are large and very clean.
The pool on the 22rd floor is fantastic and includes 2 large hot tubs.
The manager's reception is nice with good drinks.
The only thing they are missing is a nice bar were you could have a drink later in the evening.
Not that there a no places near but this place just ask for more time to be. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-10-15T00:00:00 | 1 | Great location,value for money

146,383,097 | 25C9BCE389EF825322FCEE7F60A19354 | Good value, good location. | A little hidden, you need to know where it is even if you are in a cab, so you can give the driver directions. Once you are there, it's very comfortable and very welcoming. The room was a little tight for space but well-equipped. The breakfast, included, is more than adequate. Try to avoid a room at the back of the hotel, especially at weekends. It looks out onto Stone Street, an outdoor collection of pubs/eateries, which is well worth a visit but where the revelry goes on well into the night. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-11-28T00:00:00 | 1 | Good value, good location.

126,770,395 | E7762A84F64F08CD78212DDCDAE2004E | Nice suite, but sub-par service. | This hotel was on a list recommended for cancer patients by Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and the website looked wonderful. We did get a special rate because of the hospital, so I reserved a suite, although NYC hotel prices always take me aback. We arrived early, but they were able to find us room to check right in. I couldn't get over how tiny the lobby was; and there were 4 employees crowded around the little desk; and one seemed more confused than the next.
When we got to our suite, it was really fantastic, big, very attractively decorated. The living room had comfortable furniture and very attractive lamps and decor. The bedroom was a bit crowded, but had a wonderful built-in closet with lots of shelves. The small bathroom had been recently remodeled; and could not have utilized the space any better. The shelves in the shower were great, and because the sink had little counter space, I loved the mirror and counter with lights on the opposite wall, behind the door. The kitchen was complete, but badly needed remodeling. However, how great is that to have a full kitchen, including dishwasher and microwave?
It has been a long time since I had to pay for wifi in a hotel, and $14.95/day is steep. To get free wifi, you have to sit in the lobby which is only big enough for 3 people. Plus, even the one computer in the lobby can only be used to print boarding passes; otherwise, you have to pay $5.95 for 15 min. and $1.95 a page to print.
I was surprised that they did not have a shuttle to the hospital, as most others do; so we had to take a taxi. Since the hotel is in the middle of the block, very few taxis come down 64th St., so you are forced to walk over to 2nd or 3rd Ave. (depending on where you are going) to catch a cab in a timely fashion. That is not easy for a cancer patient, especially when it is cold and raining. Also each day there were tons of bags of trash stacked on the sidewalk from the building next door, blocking half the walk.
When we left the room in the morning, we hung the sign on the door for the maid to clean the room. When we returned 4 hours later, she had not been there. By that time my cancer patient was too ill to not go right to bed; so I just told them to skip it. I did get a note from manager that they were overly full and the maid couldn't get to all the rooms in a timely fashion. But I would think since there are so few rooms on each floor, they could check the doors and prioritize which ones got cleaned first. In all honesty, I guess I should have told the front desk as well when we left in the morning; but I have never had that problem before. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-03-27T00:00:00 | 1 | Nice suite, but sub-par service.

We upgraded our room to the 21st floor and had a view of Petco ball park and the harbor/ocean. Amazing views! Altitude roof top lounge was incredible. Enjoyed that the guests at the hotel got priority to the very long line of people waiting to get in. The conceirge service was also very accommodating with a great breakfast in the morning but other than that, we really didn't use it that much. The hotel is very modern and staff was very friendly. The linens, bed, pillows were all upgraded and comfortable. LOVED how our bed was turned down for us each night with mints on our pillows and soft music playing! Nice touch! Perfect location to all the bars/restaurants in the Gaslamp area. Also close enough walking distance to Seaport Village. Price was perfect! If/when we visit San Diego again, we will definitely chose the Marriott Gaslamp! | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-07-11T00:00:00 | 1 | Fantastic!

128,498,359 | 9629CBFFB0148012A8FB6F490B376CBC | Good value for money | Stayed for a week in April 2012. Had a two bedroom apartment for a family of two adults and two teenagers. Large and clean rooms with a lot of space compared to other New York hotels. Breakfast was included, decent and served its purpose. The kitchen was clean and well equipped but we never used it. The front desk was always very helpful. The only downsides we could think of was that the water pressure in the shower was almost non-existant which made it virtually impossible to shower and the street noise at night. We were told that the water pressure in the shower is low on puprose to conserve water but in our opinion the measures taken by the hotel in this respect were a bit extreme. As to the street noise we became used to it after one night and there were even ear plugs available. After all this is New York, a city that supposedly never sleeps! Would recommend this hotel to friends as the location is good and it offers good value for your money. | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-04-24T00:00:00 | 1 | Good value for money

138,924,108 | 346D17BDF0D77989833F6381F2BE04FD | Great hotel, excellent location. | My fiancee and I spent two nights at the Andaz 5th Ave and absolutely loved it. Even though the car drive had a difficult time finding the hotel to drop us off, everything else was fantastic. The staff at the hotel were very professional and responsive. By far though, my favorite thing about the hotel is its location. We are theatre people, and were with a nice 10-15 minute walk of every show we wanted to see AND YET we were far enough from Times Square that we felt we could escape the "hustle and bustle" of the theatre district. We'll definitely be back. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-08-30T00:00:00 | 1 | Great hotel, excellent location.

137,510,866 | 8FA8375DB40E226535E6EE96DD6183CA | 5+ star property but service....?? | I am going to write a review contrary to what everyone else has written based on our experience at this hotel when we stayed there in the first half of August.
Me and my brother were in NYC on a business trip and had booked a Large twin room. We reached the hotel in the afternoon and asked for a suite upgrade. The online rate was 340++ and the upgrade was another $100. We said what the hell and took the suite.
When we got to the room we had expected something a lot more. The check in manager did not explain that this was going to be a studio suite, which is what it was. Single room with a sitting area and a bed a bit ahead on the left. As the room had just 1 bed we asked for an extra bed to be put in. Now when you do this keep in mind a good part of the living room will be blocked off with the bed. So I am not sure if the upgrade is worth it especially if you want 2 beds in the room.
We checked in and wanted to check our email. The internet was worse than a dial up line. The connection kept dropping. We attributed it to the time of the day and left it at that. Next morning we had a meeting and then had a few hours before our next meeting so both of us got to the room to get some work done. Again same issue. The internet would either not work or was absolutely crawling. We called tech support and they reset the internet in our room but still the same problem; slower than a dial up line.
So I called the front desk and asked for the manager as by now I was pretty irritated. Here we are paying $500 a night and we cant even get reliable internet!!. She said that it maybe an issue with the internet in our room and offered to change our room and so asked us to pack our bags and leave them ready and she would transfer them to the new room when it got ready.
We packed all and left for our meetings. We get back at 930 PM, take our new room keys and go the the new suite on the 9th floor, room 915. This room was smaller than the earlier one. Maybe the dimensions are same but the way it was set up you at least 10-15% less space in this room that the earlier one (1225). So a tip, if you are going to get a suite dont get the ones ending in 15.
My brother opened his office bag and realized that his ipad was missing!! How could this be? So I checked my bag; we both checked out suit case and no ipad. So we called the front desk and asked them to check if in case the ipad was left in the room (my brother was 99.99% sure that he put it in his bag). The manager told us that it was too late to call the other room (930 PM) and so he would check with the guest after 9 AM in the morning. This was fine but his tone and attitude was not right.
The new room then had a litany of issues. They did not transfer the extra bed to this room. By the time we called at 930 PM there was no housekeeping staff at the hotel any more. The room has no bars of soap either on the wash basin or inside the shower. The living room area TV had no remote control. But the internet was working faster :). We had successfully jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
So I called the manager again and asked him to give the email ID of the GM of the hotel so that I could email him about the ipad issue as well as the other things. He actually told me that he did not have his bosses email ID!!!! This was a joke. I told him that he must be kidding and that if he did not give me the GM's email ID this matter was then moving to Hyatt corporate. Suddenly he found the email and gave it to me!!
Here is the thing. A guest who is paying Andaz rates does not have time to waste to send an email to the hotel GM. If he is asking for the email ID it is better to give it to him rather than come up with a lame excuse that he does not have it. I did email the GM about the issues and requested him to look into it.
The next morning the manager in charge came to meet us and explained that he would be looking for the ipad and look at the other issues personally. We returned at around 630 PM that day and the manager in charge told us that unfortunately they did not find the ipad!! This was unbelievable.
In the hotel's defense, the GM that evening informed us that the hotel would be taking off the value from our bill ($650). This was good as the hotel did own up the responsibility and made good the loss and saved the issue from snow balling.
Besides the above there were lots more niggling issues at the hotel. I already informed earlier that a new room having no soap, no remote control etc. The breakfast quality at the hotel is both over priced and poor service. Or let me rephrase the service was extremely cold. The staff at the restaurant had a chip on their shoulder, why I don't know.
When you pay $500 a night you are paying almost top dollar and there are a whole host of hotels that would have better service than Andaz. Maybe not in the wall st area but surely in Soho and of course mid town.
I will give Andaz one more chance, not at Wall Street but at 5th Avenue. After that its back to starwood. Hyatt must realize that the hard asset is great. It is the soft asset that is extremely important at a high end hotel. Our experience at Andaz was very disappointing. I only hope that this is an aberration. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2,012 | 2012-08-18T00:00:00 | 1 | 5+ star property but service....??

We couldn't have been more surprised...the staff was exceptionally kind, they upgraded our room to a larger room (because some are VERY small), and they comped us one night of parking. I recommend using their parking facility which is $50 per day, but saves LOTS of headaches. They're one of the few options for leaving the lot multiple times all day without getting docked for it. Also, we brought earplugs so weren't even aware if there was noise during the night (some reviewers complained so we came prepared!). Overall, it was a very nice stay. Yes, Americans often complain about anything...sure the view wasn't spectacular, sure the building is somewhat old, but it was very clean, comfortable and the staff was fabulous. | 4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-07-24T00:00:00 | 1 | Pleasantly surprised, after reading other reviews!

I was looking for an affordable suite option with 2 comfortable beds, while traveling with a family member. This is your place if you have similar demands. Very European feel; well-kept "prewar" building. Each suite is more like your own NY apartment than a cold/antiseptic hotel room. The deluxe 2 bedroom was very large and perfectly suited for people traveling together needing more space, and a kitchenette. Centrally located in Midtown (50th street) a block from Smith/Wolensky's and Third/Lexington Avenue. Enclosed rooftop solarium restaurant/bar had spectacular views of Chrysler Building and East River. Buffet breakfast could be slightly higher quality and more bountiful for the price, but all in all, I would not hesitate to stay there again for the price. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-11-09T00:00:00 | 1 | One of the best places to stay if you are looking for 2 person suites

146,702,492 | 92367251DC5E74FC37AA75CBCD1295DF | Wonderful Staff & Location | The staff here was excellent & very accommodating. Even though we purchased through Hotwire, Hyatt staff let us check in early & even gave us a suite with a Space Needle view, awesome for my Grandson. We asked for a crib for my Grandaughter which was immediately delivered. After some time to settle in, we even received a call from the staff to make sure we were happy with our room & asked if there was anything else we needed...that was a first. The 24 hour shuttle service was great, even gave us some history of the city & info on some local happenings, always prompt & courteous.
The suite itself was very nice & comfortable.Only downside was we had to ask for lotion at the front desk, it would be nice to have in the room. Location is awesome, especially with children, only 3 blocks from Seattle Space Needle Center, Museum's, etc. & 1 mile from Pike Market. If raining, the shuttle is available. The breakfast was very good, nice to have hot options. The apples in the lobby really thrilled my Grandson as well as the indoor pool. Would definitely stay again!! | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-12-03T00:00:00 | 1 | Wonderful Staff & Location

There was nothing to complain about with this hotel. It was very reasonably priced, friendly staff, a spotless room, wonderful memory foam bed, and far enough from the main attractions to be quiet, but close enough for an easy visit.
We expected a fairly basic hotel and happened to get a room with a spectacular view of the skyline. Everything exceeded our expectations. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-08-18T00:00:00 | 1 | Gorgeous view

132,810,458 | AA47C79E027AD1914C92BC1498BDD48D | One of my favorite Marriott properties | The JW in Chicago is hands down one of my favorite stops when staying in Chicago. I like the touches that the hotel offers over and above the typical Marriott experience. A great business hotel!
The rooms are well-appointed, although not exceedingly large. Comfortable and easy to maneuver is the rule of the room. The meeting spaces are nicely done, and technologically able. The Executive Lounge is the highlight here, as it is probably the top scoring area for Elite members at any Marriott -- beating even the Hilton New York. The food is outstanding. Not too heavy, and well thought out. Elegant space, but comfortable.
There's an interesting parallel here around F&B, though. After 10 or so meals on property, I have found the F&B service at the on-property restaurants to be pretty par for the course. This could use some work, honestly.
The gym is pretty well laid out, but the pool is extremely small. I like to work out there, but don't plan on getting a hardcore workout. Also, no laps in the pool. it might be 15m at most.
Finally, the event experience is expensive here. We staged an event for approximately 500 and it ran into the six figures. Bring your checkbook here, but I believe it's worth it. | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-06-26T00:00:00 | 1 | One of my favorite Marriott properties

137,166,677 | C9769AD34E7BB3DEB6EEC41A1D810016 | Great rate with a pet | We stayed here one night for $99. Our room was huge and really clean. This was a big relief since we brought our dog and most hotels seem to give families with pets the grossest rooms. The staff at the front desk were really nice, giving water and cookies upon check in and check out. Beautiful grounds. We are not Hilton Honors members, so no free wi-fi for us. Parking was kind of horrific, we had to park far away from our room and cart in our bags, the dog's stuff and our infant's gear, including a travel crib. The hotel is not really near San Diego. We were on our way out of town so it didn't matter. But we did stay at a hotel in Hotel Circle another night and the place was a dump. So if a really nice room at a decent rate means driving 30 mins to reach San Diego attractions that's okay with me. We would stay here again. | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-08-14T00:00:00 | 1 | Great rate with a pet

From the minute we walked in, can't rave enough. Valerie checked us in....the manager (Erica) surprised my husband with some wonderful goodies in our room.....and they wished him a Happy Birthday, which he was really surprised.
Lots of restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel (our favorite is The Taste of Texas)....
Our room was bright and spacious....lots of light and great water pressure...and tons of hot water.
Next morning when we came down for breakfast, more friendly smiling faces at the front desk (Angelica and Rita).

133,139,818 | C38021BE02C06E224ECD77966B1AFF1E | Fantastic Location, Great Staff, Nice Room | We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alexander Inn. The check-in was easy and fast. We parked our car right across the street while we chcked in and then took our car to their discounted garage down the street - 3 blocks. We had a corner room - 201 that was ready for us at 10:30 in the morning. Yea! We unpacked our bags and headed out to lunch at the Reading Terminal which they recommended. The staff was great the 2 days we were there. They gave us maps and directions and great suggestions for places to eat. The breakfasts in the morning were very adequate. Our room was large with 2 casual chairs so the 3 of us had plenty of room. Bathrooms are a little small but very functional and very up-to-date for an older building. I can't say enough for the ambiance - the hotel makes you feel like a real part of the historic section of Philly - so glad we stayed there and not in a modern giant hotel. I felt so safe in that part of the city. Everyone was very friendly - lots of people on bikes. My grandson and I walked everywhere - it is only 8 blocks to Independence Hall. We loved the city of "Brotherly Love" and definitely one reason is the Alexander Inn. It is also very affordable - nice!! | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-06-30T00:00:00 | 1 | Fantastic Location, Great Staff, Nice Room

Reservations are easy via the website or phone. When making reservations you are offered Historic Rooms located in the older part of the hotel or Premier located in the newer section. I always reserve Premier rooms, while a little pricier, they are roomier and with nice amenities. Request an inside room though as the rooms on the outside boarder O’Farrell Street and are noisier. Hotel staff members are accommodating and responsive to requests. Rooms are clean, well kept, well furnished, and tastefully decorated. The Daily Grill restaurant/bar is located adjacent to the hotel and offers fine American style food at reasonable prices. Reservations are suggested as it is a popular restaurant.
I have been staying at the Handlery while attending a weeklong scientific society meeting in San Francisco every December since the late 1990s. My first stay was assigned as a staff member for the society and I have continued staying here after leaving the society and into retirement. My wife and I enjoy our visits to the Handlery and often invite friends back for social visits at poolside.

The room size was absolutely fine, plenty big enough for us and our clothes, suitcases etc. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was great and the big bed was very comfy. We really liked the roof bar, it was very hot when we were there and sitting on the roof with a cold beer was fantastic. I can also recommend Ed's Chowder house and PJ Clarkes restaurant.

So many things to say and do just in a 3 mile radius. Which they do offer a Shuttle, but you will want to walk (if you can) because their is so much to see and do! I was very surprised that the room didn't make me miss my bed at home. It is a renovated Bank, which the Vault is directly behind the desk where you check in. The standard room is awesomely large and beyond what you would expect for the cheapest room they offer! I really want to see the other room's (Deluxe), and the security is the best I have seen Yet!

133,541,979 | E376E57102D7B9114368BC4C0C676FC4 | Nice Hotel, for flying out of Denver or for a quick stay. | The Hilton Homewood Suites near the Denver Airport is a very nice hotel located near an array of other hotels, such as Hampton, which is next door. For the price, considering that dinner and breakfast is included, it is a nice choice for the area. I found the price comparible to the Hampton next door. The area is quiet and set back from the interstate with little traffic The standard suite offers the a two room layout, one bedroom and living area with a fully supplied kitchen area including full size refrigerator and microwave as well as plates and necessary kitchen utensils. The room was clean and daily service was good. We had a room on the second floor, even though a top floor was requested, so we were aware of the people above us, who had really big feet and seemed to walk around alot. The staff is very friendly and great you repeatedly as you pass through the hotel. They offer a rotating breakfast and dinner option included with the room, with dinner only offered Monday thru Thursday evenings. We had dinner Thursday evening and it was very nice. The inside dining area is large and outside seating is available. There are several options for restaurants in the area if you elect not to eat at the hotel or you stay over the weekend. Access to the main interstate is close. The hotel is approximately 15 minutes from the airport/car return. There is nothing to do close to the hotel other than a handfull of restaraunts. Shopping or attractions are a minimum of a 30 minute drive to get to either to downtown Denver or south/north to a local outlet mall along the interstate. | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-07-05T00:00:00 | 1 | Nice Hotel, for flying out of Denver or for a quick stay.

The area is quiet and set back from the interstate with little traffic The standard suite offers the a two room layout, one bedroom and living area with a fully supplied kitchen area including full size refrigerator and microwave as well as plates and necessary kitchen utensils. The room was clean and daily service was good. We had a room on the second floor, even though a top floor was requested, so we were aware of the people above us, who had really big feet and seemed to walk around alot. The staff is very friendly and great you repeatedly as you pass through the hotel. They offer a rotating breakfast and dinner option included with the room, with dinner only offered Monday thru Thursday evenings. We had dinner Thursday evening and it was very nice. The inside dining area is large and outside seating is available. There are several options for restaurants in the area if you elect not to eat at the hotel or you stay over the weekend. Access to the main interstate is close. The hotel is approximately 15 minutes from the airport/car return. There is nothing to do close to the hotel other than a handfull of restaraunts. Shopping or attractions are a minimum of a 30 minute drive to get to either to downtown Denver or south/north to a local outlet mall along the interstate. | 1,653 | __label__en |

The layout of the room was fabulous, the bed was one of the most comfortable ever with luxurious bedding and pillows, the bathroom had an amazing shower and the room was spotless. The staff was very helpful, the valet was attentive and the second floor lounge was a delicious treat to start the day or finish the night. This property is a gem located in a great area of Manhattan that is perfect for a romantic weekend. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-03-19T00:00:00 | 1 | Absolutely Breathtaking!

135,163,114 | 67A0B67FC0E4D18DFD8040D995DC7354 | Avoid if you need a class venue for friends/business | I am CEO of downtown media company and hold business and social events all over the country---UNFORTUNATELY this hotel turned out to be a "Franchise" Hilton not a corporate hotel and they lack the accountability, quality and quantity of staff to serve a classy clientel.
We held black tie wedding at a loca museum for our daughter and had over 100 people staying at this Hilton. This hotel was ill-equipped to deal with even crowd of frat boys heading to a Phillies game much less our many family and friends from out of town and out of country. Embarrassing, frustrating and deceitful.
Check-in was disorganized; bridal party couldn't get into their rooms to change at 2:30, transportation "got lost" to and from the events. Staff couldn't answer questions. Hotel was packed but their was one bell man and one valet. Bar closed early with 75 of us, including the bride and groom--trying to order after the wedding (night manager lied to me citing "state law"--following day found out it was the "Franchisee" hotel policy not state law.
I do business with Hilton routinely--including 700 rooms in February for an event at the Hilton on S Michigan Ave in Chicago. Hilton is a predictably good chain--the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue howver is a franchisee-owned hotel that cuts corners and is a second-rate experience at best. | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2,012 | 2012-07-23T00:00:00 | 1 | Avoid if you need a class venue for friends/business

126,067,681 | 64B19CEF69C754D09173A7AFF39BF2EE | Paying for location | Great location right on the Riverwalk. We were on the 5th floor overlooking the Riverwalk, but really couldn't see it due to the windows were located really high up. Still, nice to have a least somewhat of a view.
The hotel itself is older, and the rooms aren't exactly cute. But the bed is comfy and the room serves it's purpose. I did take off a whole point tho due to the faulty showerhead and the horrible old square hairdryer. Bring your own hair dryer if you plan on staying there more than one-night!
One great feature of the hotel is the 5:30pm Kickbacks they offer, which includes hot appetizers and 3 free alcoholic drinks. Stick with wine or beer though, because they don't make a good mixed drink. But, it's free so what do you expect. Also they offer a decent enough hot breakfast in the morning.
Also parking seems kind of expensive at $14 a night, but it's better than parking on the street downtown.
Overall, it was a good stay, but if I were staying more than a couple of nights I would probably look for something more modern. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-03-13T00:00:00 | 1 | Paying for location

We were only there one night traveling through FL. The rooms are spacious with well-planned use of space. The amenities are all there, from soft sheets and fluffy pillows to in-room services. They offer a very nice breakfast buffet with wait staff making omelets and waffles, plus the usual eggs and breakfast meats, etc. They charge $9 for the buffet, but it may be included, depending on the price point of the room you book. We booked our room on the internet, and breakfast was not included. This is one of the nicest, most pleasant Courtyards we have stayed at. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-03-07T00:00:00 | 1 | Met our Marriott expectations

142,060,340 | 52E791A47DEBC7CEAC778D9808D69115 | More non plus than real value for money | My wife and I visited the hotel for a couple of nights stay prior to a cruise at the end of august 2012. It is located about a fifteen minutes walk from pier 39 and Fishermans' Wharf via the gauntlet of shops trying to drag you inside. Upon arrival our cases were dealt with efficiently and immediately the touting started for a $10 wine tasting. (A little tip for you. Having found out we have just flown in from the Uk, a ten hour flight, a wine tasting is at the bottom of our list) This will not be the last time somebody will try to part you with your money as the local shop keepers will demonstrate.
Inside the hotel we were dealt with by a very smiley white toothed but ultimately not very genuine and ingratiating reception staff. We found our room with our cases not long behind. The room was a fair size but not large although the bed was, and comfortable to boot. The bathroom was well equipped and a good size.
One evening we came back about 9:30pm ish having eaten and found that the town had shut up shop. We were hoping for a drink at the bar to find that it had closed also. A Bit odd for a hotel bar, still saved us some money. All things considered the hotel was not value for money and didn't really have any character about it. It ticks all the box's for service and so on but was somehow missing the human touch and did not come across as being genuine. | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 2,012 | 2012-10-05T00:00:00 | 1 | More non plus than real value for money

I was worried about getting a place in a nice area because when we were looking we had read reviews on other hotels in which people walked out and bums were sitting outside the hotel. We didn't see anything like that here, it was in a very nice area and we always felt safe. The rooms were clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the coffee maker in the room was great. The hotel staff was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area and things to do. We were even surprised with a bottle of wine when they found out it was our anniversary. If we go back to San Francisco I would definitely stay here again and I am recommending it to all my friends! | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 2,012 | 2012-06-20T00:00:00 | 1 | Great hotel - will stay there again!

144,002,950 | 3C5A1CCD232B7F676943C7BE8C7430B4 | Sacraficed comfort for glam | Our 4 night stay turned into a one night stay after we realized this was not a hotel for us. It's very space-aged looking and modern upon arrival. There's a big robotic arm that takes your luggage which I guess is cool but alerted me that maybe priorities were out of line here. We opened the door to our 'cabin' and were shocked. It was tiny. And I mean tiny for NYC. The small bed folded up in the wall (our motorized bed was broken so it wouldn't go back) with a very small bathroom attached with no door just a glass slide. There was a 'desk' where I'd hoped to get work done but it had to hold our luggage since there was no other room. And the bed. If you can even call it that. The reason we left after one night. Neither my husband or I could walk the next day. We're both tall - maybe the bed is better for one small person, but it was awful for us. Especially for the price we had paid. I woke up the next morning so unhappy. The staff was kind and allowed me to cancel my reservation for the next 3 nights and we went down the street to a less expensive but much more comfortable hotel and were quite happy. If you're into hip and space-aged maybe this is for you. If you want room to walk, a door to close on the bathroom, and a bed to actually rest comfortably in I wouldn't recommend it. | 2 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 2,012 | 2012-10-29T00:00:00 | 1 | Sacraficed comfort for glam
