쉐라톤 그랜드 랩리즈 공항 호텔

So, this is one of those hotels that just lost their franchise, and it's obvious why. I arrived to find a plastic tarp lazily thrown over the Sheraton sign out front. Checking in was fine, but then I found out how far the elevator was from the lobby, and how far my room was from the elevator. Maybe it was because I upgraded to the "king suite with club access". No club, and the room was still small and janky. Ooh, but I have a baaaaaalcony. Cool, a foot and a half worth of dirty concrete. The bathroom was itty bitty, and the toilet didn't work. There was the classic stupid-loud AC unit, but it was in some kind of wooden enclosure thing. You're not hiding something that's roaring like a race car. Then my keycard stopped working, and I stood around like a moron until someone made an appearance at the front desk. I could hear them in the back. I would've rang a bell if there was one. The restaurant and bar appeared to not be open the entire time I was there. There was a janky grocery store Starbucks counter, but the couple of pastries looked... Not good. The convenience store style grab and go was just bags of chips and candy. A big part of why I booked was the convenience of not having to go out to eat. Finally, there's the warmed over part. The ceiling was falling apart from a leak, that just had a ripped up towel to catch it. The aroma was just delightful. And the holy crap landlord special paint job on the sliding door frame was just... Sad. If you want a holiday inn, stay there and save some money. If you want a snazzy corporate suite, this just ain't it.
