While visiting AC for a conference I stayed here. I arrived on a Sunday around 10AM and they told me they were packed from the night before… so much for early check-in! So, I wasted time driving the main streets in AC and then walking the boardwalk – That was quite the show… Interesting people there! Seems that during my few nights staying here, I saw many of those people staying here too… plenty of people smoking weed and smelling up the lobby and elevators. Fortunately, the room was clean, housekeeping did a nice job. The room was decent, but needing to be refurbished. The bathroom was clean. The elevators were horribly slow, especially during peak times. The staff at the desk was friendly as well. Valet were friendly, just incredibly slow, inefficient, and always backed up during the peak times, even though there were more valet personnel here than I’ve ever seen anywhere before. Speaking of valet, I wasn’t too happy to get in my car one morning to see the seat was completely declined, the radio on a station I didn’t listen to and other things adjusted… Made me wonder if they took it out for a joy ride the night before. The area is pretty sketch… I have friends who lived in the area who advised me not to walk around at night, and I can see why. I think next time I’m in the area for work (because there’s no other reason to visit this city), I’ll stay at the Sheraton at the Convention Center.
