Sterling Hotels

Staff was very friendly. There were a lot of things for young children to do. Water parks seemed clean- no floating band aids or litter. Our room was located right next to the elevators and we could here every time someone got on or off the elevator- not good when you have two young children. We requested a crib and were told there would be one in the room but there was not. Also, why do you have employees keeping the doors open to the water parks? It is warm inside the water parks but very cool in the hallways. This causes the warm air to rush out and cool air to come in and hit you, especially if you are playing on the edges of the water park. As we have two young children, we were always at the edge, otherwise it would be to deep for them. The cool air rushing in and hitting their wet skin made them quite cold and we were not able to spend as much time in the water parks as we would have liked to.

Unfortunately we had to cancel but at the time of booking I was not told that If I cancelled would be charged the full amount of my room charge. I contacted the Courtyard in Worcester and they informed me that it was third party reservation and there was no refunds. The cancellation was due to an emergency operation on my wife after the operation she couldn't travel. I'm very disappointed with your organization not explaining this policy at time of booking. I plan on showing my displeasure by posting a review and comment on Face Book and Ripoff.com You can contact me with questions at sbraymer@aol.com

Helpfulness of staff, closeness to event I was attending (at the trade center) Cash machine was broken and staff could not give cash back on credit card; very inconvenient as most people don't have cars. Also would be good if hotel shuttle went to train station.

Friendly & helpful staff....facility of a late checkout... location suited

Unrestricted wireless Internet access. No complimentary breakfast of any kind.

Staff was professional and helpful. Only positive aspect of stay. Room was below average. Bathroom had loose, torn wallpaper, towel rack fell off. Heat did not regulate well. Either very hot or cold. Very noisy guests all night long. Will avoid Doubletree in future.

The receptionist the night we arrived was nice and understanding when we wished to shorten our stay. From the moment we walked in it smelled like stale whiskey and weed. This place was the most disgusting place I have ever been to and I was debating sleeping on the lawn outside knowing there would have been less of a chance of rolling into someone's dried jizz. I took my shoes off to get into bed (fully clothed in fear of bugs or crabs from the public hairs in between the sheets) and felt something sharp prick my foot. In horrifying disbelief I pulled a large toe nail off the bottom of my foot. I then looked at the floor and there was several toe nail clippings. Under the bed there were a bunch of crushed chips and old food smashed into the carpet that was covered in dark stains. The whole hotel reeked of stale alcohol that has been spilled a thousands times and never cleaned up. The smell of marijuana was pouring out of our vents. The bth tub had obviously not been cleaned with someone's hair stuck to the walls of the shower. There was also a used bar of soap left on the side of the tub. The heat cents were filled with dust and would be a nightmare for anyone with allergies. There was also someone walking around outside our window for most of the night. We were originally booked for four days and immediately asked to cancel the other three. We were still charged for the full amount for four nights and when we called to ask for a refund the person on the phone was very frustrated and angry saying "he told the maids to do a better job and they just won't listen to him." I'm pretty sure any good manager would hire a staff that would do their jobs. He was snapping at us and making it seem like it was the end of the world to refund our money for the nights we didn't stay. It is most definitely worth paying $20 more for a good night of sleep!

Bathrooms in rooms where disgusting,.. bathroom vent in my room was being held up with about 20 strips of scotch tape. kept falling out of wall with vibration (when turned on) exposing a big hole to the outside. Comforters in room were from the 70's Showers had been painted and paint was chipping. bathroom sink looked like it was being held up with hot glue and the sagged on one side since it was particle board.

Lots of broken dirty items. Not kept up well. Coeefilterstl had coffee, clock not fixed.
