Wow! Came across…read morethis hotel and thought it'd be worth trying something different. This is not your normal, cookie cutter hotel! The details in decor, the warmth and ambiance really creates an enjoyable experience. Other hotels are very sterile feeling, but this has small details that just make you say, wow! A kitchenette, stocked with dishes, bowls, pots & pans, a Keurig, 2 K-Cups. A dishwasher, microwave, 2 top Electric stove, sink with a small table and 2 chairs. Apartment size fridge too. Working fireplace, bookshelf with a small collection of books, huge closet, large daybed/couch and queen size bed. Bathroom is huge too. Very clean, stocked with toiletries and fresh towels. Two things I'd suggest; add more lighting, and a bedside table or two with capabilities to plug in cell phone or other items. Otherwise, definitely need to visit this Inn in Zion! Check out the pictures. Happy travels!

It is completely offensive this place so proudly proclaims itself a women run hotel…read more Why? Because it is the worst run hotel for a hundred miles in any direction. Without getting into all the small things like only having two towels in a double occupancy when we all know someone's going to need to wrap their hair, like entertainment equipment so poorly cared for you're jiggling HDMI cables like it's a set of rabbit ears from 1978... They make you sign a form indicating quiet hours begin at 10p & then host private parties in the ball room which run until 11p with amplified music you can hear three floors away. Never mind the women they hire are precisely the sort which make it impossible for other women to be taken seriously in the work place because they're under trained, apprehensive, poorly spoken, surly, unable to make decisions, speak in a full voice with confidence in the knowledge of what they're saying... We've put up with the place for a few years now because they landed the Bristol Fair package deal & we really want shuttle service to & from an event involving alcohol, but at this point, I'd rather walk the two and a half miles from the fair to the Double Tree than put up with this place one more night.

Only thing that sucked was the WiFi but that's well known when it comes to GoWifi (might be the best place on base with GoWifi though). They even allow pets.. so amazing!

Spent 20 minutes on the phone with David booking "the last room" and providing all my personal info plus credit card #, sailors name etc. I was told "congrats and you will get a confirmation email shortly" The following day I still had not received an email so called again. Spoke to someone who said no record of any reservation. I asked for a supervisor and spent another 30 minutes with Johana who after providing all my info again ended up telling me " I'm sorry but we cannot accommodate you". I kindly asked can you at least please provide me with another name of somewhere close by then and was told " I'm sorry we cannot provide any recommendations". Wow!! Good thing we did not show up from out of state as we would have had no place to stay! Huge disappointment- I caution any family to stay elsewhere!! Worse is what did David do with all my personal info & credit card number!!?? Now we are left scrambling to find somewhere else to stay.

There are so many positive aspects to the Lotus, it's a beautiful hotel, in a quiet,safe area,…read moreupscale & very clean. In the large dining area there's a full hot breakfast every morning, with fruit & juice, yogurt, cereal, pancakes or my favorite...the waffle maker. There's fresh hot coffee all day. The rooms are gorgeous, the beds are soooo comfortable. There's a fridge, microwave and sink in the standard rooms, along with a table and chairs. If you order food, the staff will give you plates & utensils. The rooms are huge, lots of space, a flat screen tv & free wifi. There is a large laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers that work well, which is a true plus. There's a heated pool and a hot tub. There's a large flat screen in the social area, which has plush chairs, sofa & fire place. Out back there's an adorable patio, complete with 3 nice gas grills, tables & chairs, it's a good sized area. If you use a grill, again the staff will give you utensils and dinner ware. It's especially nice the way the patio is mostly enclosed by walls and trees, which blocks the wind but the sun has lots of access. The landscaping around the hotel is so pretty, there's a golf course out back. It is truly an incredible place to stay. It truly is a swanky place to stay, but what makes it absolutely the best, is the staff. Genuinely kind people, from the helpful kind people at the front desk, to the housekeepers, maintenance workers, landscapers, the shuttle drivers (Sonny is fun, upbeat, always smiling, caring & very quick witted, Sonny will say something to make you smile, laugh & brighten your day.) Robert, is a saint, works long hours & is still around when he's not on the clock. Robert pays attention, learns everyone's name & gets the shuttle riders to get to know each other. Robert goes the extra mile and then ten more. I truly feel he doesn't do his job just to make a living, Robert does his job because he loves people. His objective is to help people who are fighting cancer & help their care givers & family too. Robert helps in too many ways to mention them all, there is just so much he does for so so so many patients, but the nurses always told me he stopped in to check on me when I was getting my chemo. I was always sleeping when he stopped, but when the nurse would tell me, it touched my heart. It made me feel cared about, safe. My chemo was always late in the day and would end long after the shuttle stopped running. The Lotus & Robert made sure I got a ride back. The stress and anxiety that Robert & Jun spared me after chemo was priceless! That's the level of kindness & so much help, it's absolutely priceless. I want to thank Jun, you are an amazing, talented, intelligent, sweet man. Thank you for coming to get me after chemo, you have an infectious smile and you're calming, you are such a supportive, helpful, thoughtful, caring, genuine person. You would ask if I had eaten, not everyone would think about that. Jun, there were so many times you made me smile, and times you made my day the best. The times you sang were awesome. My favorite time you sang, your family had a dinner for your Dad's birthday. I came out in the lobby & there's kids every where. I adore kids & they were every where. 2-teen, each polite, happy. You insisted I come meet your family (which warmed my heart & I felt honored to have the chance to meet your family.) On my way back to my room, you asked if you could sing a James Taylor song for me. It was just us and you cover James well. I was there alone, you knew that. So you shared your family & food with me & then sang incredibly a song from one of my favorite singers, you knew that too. Thank you Jun! You're kindness is genuine. Thank Everyone at the Lotus! You're family, not just an amazing hotel!

To stay at Hawthorn Suites is to be confident nothing shocking, jarring, or otherwise outside the…read moreexperience of the average upper middle class traveler will occur. It's entirely possible to somnambulate through the entire check-in, residence, and wedding reception experience blissful in the knowledge that, within the confines of the establishment, nothing interesting or untoward will assail the senses. The bride evidently picked Wedding #2 and color scheme #6 from the menu, causing her wedding planner and Hawthorn to swing into action like a well-oiled machine. The evening was perfect - I'm certain it adhered exactly to the script. It was entirely without drama ... or passion ... or a pulse. The bride has an attractive and strong personality, yet the evening was flavored with vanishingly little of her personal touch. Instead of spending the evening feeling happy for her, I passed my time wondering why anyone (and especially she) would invest time and money on something so generic and cold. My impressions of ... The reception hall: Pre-fab room, completely conventional, mercilessly well-organized and intelligently arranged. It was "personalized" with dyed sashes, luckily of a different color than those chosen by the evening's other bride, who was installed in the otherwise identical adjacent reception room. Without the color-coded accents to identify the rooms, there would doubtless have been substantial unintentional co-mingling of guests from both parties. The entertainment: DJ with a table-mounted disco ball - playing every hackneyed wedding-centric song I've grown to hate. Fireworks (I am not making this up) set off outside, clearly visible through enormous windows, creating a backdrop for the bride and groom's first dance. I somehow did not ... ah ... feel the moment. The staff: Completely unobtrusive, quick, efficient, and numerous. They masterfully executed each of the tasks entrusted to them that evening: performing the ever-present-but-never-underfoot dance of dispensing hors d'oeuvres before dinner, serving dinners to every person in the room nearly simultaneously, making the for-show wedding cake vanish directly after it was cut, distributing perfectly cut pieces of cake immediately afterwards, and whisking away the used place settings and utensils with magical speed. The food: Well prepared and admirably tweaked versions of old standbys - one or two unusual ingredients in the entrees had a good effect. The improvised vegetarian kabob was quite nice. The suite: Quiet, comfortable, and tastefully appointed - a veritable refuge. The only time I heard the hysterics of the other bride's bridesmaid, who had the suite directly across from mine, (apparently her bf cheated on her that night with another girl in the wedding party) was when I ventured into the hall. I slept well and heard nothing from my neighbors while inside the suite. The appliances were all very nice, but the pots in the cupboards were cheaper than anything I've encountered outside of a child's playset, and there were only a couple utensils in the drawer (good thing I didn't have guests). The parking: One complaint - multiple advertisements stuck under my windshield wiper - whatever's on that slip of paper is not worth making me unbuckle and get out of the car to retrieve! Amenities: The fitness center was nice (if limited) and the vending machines got some late-night love. But, I feel like I missed the point of staying here, since I didn't indulge in the big draw (golf).

Very clean 2. Quiet 3. Nice sized balcony with two chairs and a table 4. River view side was lovely and interesting to watch as boats went down the river 5. Towels were cozy and thicker than average 6. Mattress was both firm and comfortable 7. Close by restaurants that you can ubereat. We recommend Grandmas Kitchen. Great Mexican food. 8. Clean sheets with an extra pillow and blanket in the room. Ask for extra pillows. There are only 2 on the bed. Cons: 1. Room was not handicapped accessible at all. 2. Shower was short. Fine for me because I'm under 5 foot tall. 3. No cable TV. 4. No internet and my 5G was not working in that whole area. Could just be my service provider though.

The kitchenette was minimal at best - but there were plenty of towels and they weren't holey (like at some places I've stayed). The hotel was undergoing some kind of door security system change - some people couldn't enter the building with their card keys. The workaround was to wrap blue painter's tape around the handles of the pushbars on the doors so that they were unlocked 24/7. Not exactly secure. The carpeting in the hallway was worn and dirty; guests routinely dumped trash on the ground next to the trash can. The free breakfast was entirely meat-cheese-egg oriented with zero vegan options (nay, even the cereal was suspect and there were no plant based milks). It was pretty quiet for the most part - while it was serviceable for the time I was visiting the corporate HQ nearby, I wouldn't choose it as a destination.

Very calming and peaceful which also matched the decor. The entire building is up to date and designed very well. The designs make you feel like 'yeah, this is going to be a nice getaway.' Haha! The staff was very kind, helpful and friendly. They explained the layout of the hotel, where the gym was at and answered all the questions I had. They did a great job of welcoming us and making us feel at home. We like sleeping with low temps and thankfully their AC was able to handle our need of 67 degrees. We slept very well. This place has a top notch standard of cleanliness. Everything was spotless and smelled very good. The rooms look recently updated and they are stunning. I really love the design of them with the blue art pieces, so peaceful and beautiful. The bathrooms are bright and spacious, also stacked with soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Taking a shower feels like you're at a high end spa. The water pressure is great, strong but not too strong. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks so much for everything!

Cobwebs, dust, and dead cockroaches, cracked tile in shower, plastic shower curtain rod wouldn't stay in place because of the busted up tile. Everything was dirty, long black hair on the sheet when I pulled down the bedspread. No blanket - they expect you to use the bedspread as a blanket/comforter - YUCK, looks like they hadn't been washed in a while. Frayed carpet to bathroom causing carpet tacks to stick up - but wouldn't advise going barefoot anyway - I bought brand new pink flip flops that I wore only in the motel and the bottoms of them were filthy from the disgusting sticky, stained carpet after just one day in the room (stayed two nights - was stuck for arriving late and being at a friend's memorial all day the next day). My cell phone was dead and I didn't know what to do. I was in tears, tried to leave as much luggage in the car as possible. Grocery carts up to doors on outside of building (what kind of people live there). No Ice. Had to buy a Cubs blanket at the Jewel for 30.00. Charged me 15.00 in taxes for two nights. Had to use a regular key to enter room from hot filthy hallway. I am leaving most of my luggage in the garage as I arrived home, and taking out doing laundry as I empty it. Yes, it's that bad, please don't stay here. I couldn't sleep due to the anxiety and the people walking around above me at 4:00 in the morning! I would give it zero stars if possible. This is by far the most disgusting room I ever stayed in.
