Hotel room was not cleaned properly- hair on pillows and under the sheets and on the bathroom floors . The two complimentary water bottles in the room had both been opened and partially emptied but still placed next to clean glasses to be used. The internet was not working for most of the stay. When I went downstairs for coffee around 6:45 am, there was a redolent homeless gentleman raiding the breakfast items and getting coffee as quickly as possible and then leaving after having stuffing everything in his giant backpack with a cardboard “homeless” sign also sticking out the back of it. (Honestly, I’m all for feeding those in need but it made me like the premises were not even close to secure— there was not a staff member in sight to witness this happening in the main lobby).
As for the front desk, it was a) not staffed with anyone or b) staffed with someone who basically couldn’t be bothered to deal with the guests. I asked him about any recommended restaurants within walking distance and he curtly told me to google some options. Not expecting concierge service but a minimal, cordial conversation didn’t seem unreasonable, especially as google directed me to a closed pizzeria on a dark street nearby.
The lobby was nice though. A beautiful staircase. It’s clearly located in an historic building which has a lovely exterior. And it’s within walking distance to a nice cafe called Knead to Eat. It’s also very close to the Nexus Center which was very convenient.
