Centre de Convencions Empire State Plaza

Check in was at 3:00, but the desk clerk stated rooms would not be ready until 5:00. When I checked in, the first thing I noticed was the smell. The best I can describe, it was like damp Fritos. The hallway to my room was very dark. The room itself was typical with a king size bed and TV, small refrigerator. The bathroom looked newly tiled. The towels were fine and there were small bottles of shampoo and wrapped bars of soap. The sheets on the bed were rough and not neatly made. The woodwork and doors were old and chipped. Outside my window was a pool, but the water looked green and no one was swimming. They offered a fairly decent hot and cold breakfast. The hotel was also hard to find. The sign was on Main Street, but the hotel was tucked behind some other buildings, entrance on a side street. I almost left, but would have lost my money. Basically, I didn't feel safe. I think the place had seen far too many college parties.

We love this hotel. We come every summer. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have a lovely view.
