The Parkview Hotel

“Mostly positive with some tweaks needed”

Overall, I was very happy with my stay here. It was very convenient to my son's apartment and a fairly short walk to campus. My room was spacious and comfortable. My only issue in the room was that the sink area was so tight that I was unable to dry my hair in front of the mirror. It would be nice to have a mirror and outlet somewhere outside the bathroom, especially if you have more than one person sharing the room. The lobby area was very nice with a large seating area and coffee and tea available. My issue here is that 3 different times when I went to get coffee, the dispenser was out, and I had to wait for them to make more coffee. One time when they did refill it, it was lukewarm and I had to go back up to my room to microwave it. It would be easy to just add another dispenser of coffee, especially at breakfast time. The breakfast itself was just okay. The oranges and bananas looked like they'd been sitting there for weeks. Another minor issue was that when I used the restroom in the lobby, the wastebasket was overflowing, and it looked like it hadn't been serviced in a while. My only other disappointment was the customer service. Ken was very nice when I checked in, but the younger workers were not as friendly - one was often on his cell phone when you walked into the hotel and didn't acknowledge you. The young woman had a somewhat rude and curt attitude. I heard them say that they have a new manager. I hope that she can address these minor issues because this hotel has a lot of potential. It's in a good location, reasonably priced, and well-appointed. They just need to focus more on their attention to detail. Despite that, I would definitely stay there again.

“Disappointing stay”

This is a hotel with a lot of potential but it is in serious need of a renovation and some TLC. Location near the university is excellent.

This is a hotel with a lot of potential but it is in serious need of a renovation and some TLC. Location near the university is excellent. It's an old building with some character, a nice change from the sterile Holiday Inns and Hampton Inns of the world! My room (303) was large and spacious, as was the bathroom. However, getting into the room was a challenge. I had to use the force of my body to open the door - it was basically stuck (the door is too large for the frame and it is very difficult to open). The bath towels are laughably small, and are old, rough and frayed around the edges. The windows were filthy and there was exposed insulation in one of the window frames. It looked like it had been stuffed into a crack to keep out the draft. There was a peeling patch in my bathroom ceiling from what must have been a leak at some point. The AC/heating unit is also very noisy when it kicks in. All in all, I was excited to stay there but left disappointed. The Parkview needs to invest some money and drastically improve things for this hotel to be all it could be. They seem to be getting by with the absolute bare minimum.
