Overall, the experience was not great. There are plenty of things this hotel does great with, but they were greatly overshadowed (for me, at least) by the things I didn't enjoy. It is very fancy, and staff was mostly friendly, however there were plenty of issues. 1. Yes, this hotel is very fancy and semi-close to downtown, but it was not worth DOUBLE the price of other hotels close by. 2. Considering it was DOUBLE the price of nearby hotels, I was amazed that breakfast was not included. It was so highly-priced I decided to skip it altogether. 3. This is the only hotel in Auburn that charges you to park your car. They offer a valet for 3x the cost to park your own car, but what they don't mention until you elect to save yourself some money is that the "self-park" lot is around the block. By the time I parked and walked back to the building, then weaved through to the only elevators (right by the front door) I easily had walked nearly half a mile. It was crazy. 4. It happened to be unexpectedly raining the night I stayed, and they didn't have any loaner/rental umbrellas for guests, and also didn't offer any type of shuttle service. Not the end of the world, but again for the price I paid I expected more. 5. Finally, once I got to the room... the bed was very comfortable, and the shower was very fancy and spacious. However, I had two major complaints. The windows had thick blackout curtains, however they were on a pull track and didn't even cover half of the window! Why have them if I can't close them?? Second, there was nothing on the bottom of the door to seal it off, so all night long there is bright lights from the hallway, I can easily hear people walking by, conversations sound like they are right there in the room with me, and I was 6-7 rooms away from the elevator but could still hear it DING every single time, all night long. It woke my up several times and was very annoying. I can't imagine how much worse it might have been for someone closer! Overall - very disappointed and most-likely will not be returning.
