Overpriced, NOT what is advertised
The service was not uniformly horrid. Nate was great, the maids work hard, the place was clean, even though the "historic" furniture was shoddy, uncomfortable, and worn (except for the bed). No in room coffeemaker, no guest laundry, (they will do laundry at about $7 a garmet), no internet if you don't have your own laptop, and it was VERY overpriced (they charged me $28 a day EXTRA for parking my rental car there... I discovered this at checkout). My big gripe was the service. I called ahead for early check in was told I could check as soon as the room was ready (probably about 1) but they would store my bags and park my car as soon as I got in. I arrived at 9:15 and was told I had bring my car around and haul my bags up the stairs to the front desk myself! I protested that I was parked literally right outside the side door, and I didn't want to take my 3 yr. old daughter down the stairs (they are pretty steep), belt her into her car seat, drive literally 15 feet around the corner, unbelt her, and then haul my luggage up the other set of steep stairs, while watching my daughter, just to make the staff's job easier! Brenda at the front desk said "Well then you can leave your little girl with me while you do that."!! I got upset at this and went to my sister's room my daughter. I had to leave my daughter with my sister while I was my own bellman and brought the car around, only now the early check in that Brenda had promised was suddenly not possible and I would not be allowed to check in early at all. No I had to wait till the regular check in time of 3! My sister (who had picked the hotel) was very upset and embarrased at this and went down to rase some heck. She came back and said "Your room is ready." I went down to check in again and was told I still couldn't check in. I mentioned that my sister had just been here and she had been told I could check in... NOW it seems my room WAS ready. This is just one example of the horrid, and horrible service at the Morrison Clark. I tried the "complementary shoe shine" service, and my boots came back untouched, I had to shine them myself the next day. Malcom the manager said he was sorry, apparently they had been out of brown shoe polish, and nobody had told him, or done anything... even though there was a CVS around the corner where I bought my own brown shoe polish.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No
Why? / Why Not?
Horrible service, Borderline neighborhood, could hear the drunks fighting outside our ground floor window at night, very, very, very overpriced. Good place for a married man to take a 19 year old intern, not good for anything else.
Close to Convention Center
The Inn has many good features. It is close to the Convention Center and its Metro station, the food...
