The Blake Hotel

The Blake is an older hotel that appears to be in the process of remodeling. The lobby was contemporary and clean and the staff, friendly and courteous. The rooms were clean with quality linens and towels. The room was quiet, bed and pillows comfortable, and the bathroom clean and contemporary with plenty of hot water. I would probably have gone with 4 stars were it not for a twitchy thermostat that was difficult to set resulting in a room that was either a little too warm or too cold and a low mounted shower head that was located below my chin (for reference, I’m 6 ft tall). Some dated aspects to the room included wall paper with a couple patches in place, carpeting, and shower valve trim. In the end, I had a nice clean room and a quiet comfortable stay at a very reasonable price.

The hotel is an odd mix of fixed up, new and run down. The elevators looked very old, and I had a mirror in my room that was just leaning up against the wall and wasn't attached to anything. Also, the shower design is horrible. The lobby was very nice. That said, everyone was friendly, the price was decent, and the location was acceptable (I think it would have been much better if I had driven in). Overall, it wasn't a great hotel, but I didn't feel like it was a bad value. As they renovate, I imagine it will be a very nice hotel in the future.

Not enough lighting in the room. The bathroom and tub were really poorly design and every time the water is turn on, rust / clay would come out making a stain on the tub.

Clean and about half renovated. Don't expect to get good coffee within walking distance.

This is a hotel located 5 mins away from the Epicenter by taxi. Its old but still confortable . The pool and bar area are not as appealing as they seem on the internet. Wi fi is charged as well as parking and breakfast. Elevators need renovation.

the hotel staff gets a big a+ for their excellent service. the decor from the lobby to the room was fantastic, and the view from my room overlooking the up town area was allsome i would definately reccomend this hotel for a night of romance and adventure, the night life is on and banging wheather your choice is on the inside of the hotel, or out side by the gorigous pool area. My stay was very enjoyable

The staff was great and i like the hotel lobby's ambiance.

The lobby is beautiful, the restaurant was up beat and had great food, and the staff was very professional. That is all I can say good about the hotel. The rooms were falling apart. The sink wasn't attached to the counter. The pipes in the shower were not secured. The walls where the caulking was was dissolved and moldy. There is no shower door or curtain. The temperature control was freezing cold or off. We attempted to use the elevator several times. It always took us to the wrong floor, or get stuck on the 6th floor. Not fun to walk up 7 flights of stairs every time.

This property needs to be redone with the Hotel Impossible guy! I stayed here about 5 years ago when the renovations started and it appears, to date, that they were never completed. The front desk is still original and in very poor shape, the wallpaper in most areas is stained and shredding. Areas that were once poorly painted are now peeling and chipping. The list goes on and on! On the bright side, the staff is great, there are high-end sinks installed in the bathrooms and the lobby is also furnished with high-end light fixtures. The pool area is trendy and would probably be nice if you weren't looking out over 2 dumpsters and the parking lot. For the price this place is a dump! Book early and stay somewhere else!!!

The hotel is definitely worth more than you pay. Also the pool setup is wonderful and we spent most of the day there.
