Just a quickie here - I booked two different nights here because they have a 10,000 bonus point rate, and I'm here on business so it's deductible...but if it weren't for the bonus, I wouldn't stay here.

Looks like an old hotel was converted but not really updated. I have been at a few Indigos and like the concept and execution, but this one wouldn't be a choice for the future.

It's the little stuff - - credit card authorization was never received because their fax machine "was broken all day", small room, all power outlets hidden (behind bed, behind TV stand, etc.), wireless signal so crappy I broke out the aircard, can't get coffee except at breakfast or "home brew" it in the room.

Give me a Hampton Inn over this any day.

That said, two night stay with the extra bonus points (and the 4K points for the Hotel Indigo bonus registration that expires in a week) should net over 30K points. Not bad.

I stayed at this location for 4 nights and was very disappointed in this hotel. Never would book it again.

Almost forgot - big sign in the lobby, "Your car REALLY might be broken into this evening, but we're not responsible."

Paraphrase, of course. :D

But regardless, makes you feel oh so safe...yeah, love that.

Seriously, I have a stay planned there for tomorrow night, and I regret it. Would rather stay at the Hyatt, where I am now. But the payment's already been made by corporate, and so there I go...points or no...
