Stay somewhere else!!!!
I booked this hotel very spur of the moment because a family member was put into the hospital. After I booked it, I read some very negative reviews on another site, but they weren't dated. I called the hotel to find out if they were in fact renovating (as the reviews said) and as told that only one of the towers was being renovated and I wouldn't see any of it. I was told the tower I would be staying in had brand new furniture. The pictures on the actual Blake hotel website are VERY deceiving. It makes it look like an upscale posh hotel....this is not the case AT ALL!!!!! The lobby looks great, however, when you step on the elevator, that should've been my first clue. The elevator was dark, gloomy, and slower than Christmas. When I stepped out onto my hall, I was hit in the face with the smell of mildew. The furniture in the room was old, the bed was uncomfortable, the heat didn't work at all, and the water was either ice cold or hot enough to burn your skin off. Needless to say, I slept in my clothes because it was so cold in the room and then I woke up to take an ice cold shower. When I complained upon checkout, I was greeted with shoulder shrugs. Bottom line, they didn't care. They had my money and didn't give a crap. My advice would be to save your money and stay somewhere else. The Howard Johnson or Motel 8 would be better than this place. Don't be deceived by the beautiful pictures on their website either,they are just that...deceiving. Our towels also smelled of mildew and when I called to request new towels, I was told that Housekeeping wasn't answering the phone. The person at the front desk didn't offer to bring them to me or have someone bring them. The employees do not care at all. Please PLEASE I hope that you will take your business elsewhere and do not waste your money staying at this hotel. It will be a waste of your money. I learned the hard way!
