I always stay here because my daughters go to Trinity College. The hotel is located next to the convention center and science museum. There are not a lot of restaurants near by because the downtown area is in need of revitalization. However, the hotel does have a good restaurant. The lobby appearance has improved with flowers in the entrance check in area and it has looked clearer. The service people have increased in friendliest and hospitality. Although, the gym is chronically dirty as is the concierge area. These areas need to be cleaned more thoroughly- floors mopped, equipment and tables cleaned. Also, the coffee machine in the concierge level is horrible. They need a new one. The coffee tastes like water. I will continue to stay here but wish the above improvements would be made for a perfect stay.
