They should tear it down and rebuild
Just returned form convention there. It is terrible. Ballrooms look nice but food was horrible. Our room rate was much more than we would pay if we had booked ourselves for this week. Thought hotels gave breaks to large groups, but the Blake seems to raise prices at their own whim whenever a large group books. Was told they had just remodeled rooms but only a few actually are. Dust is thick near walls and corners on carpet. The bathroom is a joke, its no bigger than a closet. Only enough room to walk in and turn around to sit on toilet. You have to close door to get into tub which has glass "wall" that leaks and runs all over floor and into outer area when you shower. You actually have to get into tub to turn on shower. Sink barely drains unless you pull out broken stopper. Only one tiny two prong hook on back side of bathroom door to hang everything on. Bathroom floor seems to be two layers of tile thick with the carpet glued over this lip and is frayed to boot. I tripped over this numerous times. There was no hairdryer in room and even upon request was never able to get one. Only chair is room was a desk chair. Buttons were missing from phone and during 4 day stay the message light flashed constantly and was never able to remove "welcome" message. They only have 3 handicapped rooms, parking places, and elevators. Every time a guest walked up the stairs, the door on floor 7 slammed so hard (and loud) my room door vibrated and the wall even seemed to rattle too! Would never stay there again. TV guide was from December 2011! Maid knew nothing about updated one. Only good thing I can say is bed was comfortable and no bedbugs.
