Very disappointing! As a QC native, I remember all the buzz surrounding this hotel upon it's completion. Decided to chose this as a first-time meet-up destination with a very special gentleman from outside of the area. Upon walking up to the entrance, I was met with dirty windows that looked as though they hadn't been cleaned for a weeks. It was a very hot, muggy summer day, so I was both disheartened and further turned off by the humidity inside the hotel. Up 3 floors to our King-Sized room, I stepped off the elevator and into an even deeper level of humidity. A smell was evident, as was my concern that my date would be arriving within a matter of minutes. Opened the door to the room, and an even funkier smell engulfed me. Tried to call the front desk from the room phone, but a clear issue was preventing that. Annoyed, I walked back down the humid hallway to the elevator. I advised the front desk attendent of my unhappiness while fighting a meltdown, both psychologically and physically, as evidenced by the sweat now running down my back of my girst date carefully curated outfit. Was given a some "air freshener", which was disinfectant in an industrial bottle. Cobtinued to melt as I scrambled back up and through the increasingly irrriating climate, only to discover the spray had zero benefit in masking this embarassing smell. Mr. Hottie is now 2 minutes away and my excitment has now gone to impending doom. Comfortable bed, but pissed by the 1:30am fire evac!!!
