The Axis Moline Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton — Hotel in Moline

This is our second stay at the Axis Hotel in Moline. As there were three of us, we stayed in rooms with double beds, which are a bit smaller than the rooms with single King beds. The building was built in 1929 in Art Deco style. It served as an indoor golf and office building (per a hotel tour guide). That is why the rooms are set up in very interesting ways. You enter through a long hallway, where you reach your bedroom, and around the corner, you have a long hall leading to a grand bathroom. You get a large closet and many drawers, thoughtful nightstands next to each bedside for your phone, glasses, and keys. You get a set of robes and slippers, and ear plugs (which you will need…I will explain in a moment). Everything in the room is beautifully decorated, from the carpets to the beds, art, classic accessories, and fabric wallpaper in the bathroom. It is super clean. You actually want to stay in, in your room. It feels amazing and very cozy. You can also walk to a few great restaurants in the town. I recommend the Lemongrass. Now, there is one bad thing - how noisy it can get. That is why you probably get the two sets of earplugs on your night desk. ;-) The walls are quite thin, making it easy to hear noises from neighboring guests or the morning chatter of the cleaning crew in the hall. However, the real challenge is the door-slamming issue. During our stay, a group of young guests kept going in and out around 1-2 am, causing the doors to slam loudly. A potential solution could be the installation of a slow-down mechanism to allow the doors to close gradually. The view is on the street or the library across. It is not busy at all. You can park on the 2nd floor in the garage and walk through the walkway directly to your room. Downstairs you can grab breakfast and there is a great French-inspired restaurant (The Syndicate Bistro) with great food (reasonably priced). There is also a convenience store. All the staff has been friendly the two times we stayed there. Except for the noise issue, the Axis Hotel is gorgeous and a great place to stay in the Quad Cities. We will stay...

We chose this Moline hotel because it’s in close proximity to the Vibrant Arena where we were going to a concert last weekend. Upon arrival last Saturday afternoon, we learned that the power had been out since the night before. A three block radius was affected, so it was definitely not the hotel‘s fault. It was just bad luck. There were no digital cards on the Hilton app, nor could they give out actual key cards due to the outage. The staff had to escort all the customers to their rooms. Karen showed us up to our room and even lent us her flashlight. Our king room was spacious, very clean and well appointed. It had a little sitting area and a large bathroom as well. It was such a shame we couldn’t enjoy the hotel fully. We had to get dressed right away before the sunset so we could see what we were doing. No hot showers, I couldn’t iron my clothes or curl my hair because… well, no electricity. AND no charging my cell phone which was low on battery and had the digital tickets to the concert. Eeek! |When we returned from the concert just before 11:00pm, the lights were back on. Yay! Tammy at reception was still helping the guests. There was a huge long line of customers trying to get their key cards to get to their room. The staff did the best that they could. Upon checkout on Sunday morning, Tammy was still there working to make things right. The poor girl probably didn’t get a wink of sleep. She told us that we would be getting a partial refund on our room, which has not appeared yet. I called the hotel today and they said they would take care of it. So keeping my fingers crossed. I would definitely stay at this hotel again because of the cleanliness, hospitality and...
