I stayed at The Clocktower for two nights as a solo traveler. For the most part my stay was good, with a couple exceptions.
Check-in was fine and took just a few minutes. The staff wasn't overly friendly or enthusiastic, but that's okay. The elevators were fast and I never had to wait.
My room on the third floor, near the end of the hall, was quiet. I heard noise from neighboring rooms, but only while passing by. I did not hear any noise from traffic or people overhead. The room was spacious, with a firm yet comfortable king bed and a large pullout couch. Four guests could have easily shared the space.
The closet alcove offered plenty of hangers, plus an ironing board and iron. I didn't use the coffee maker, microwave, or mini fridge, but it's nice that they offer them.
The bathroom was spacious and the water pressure was great. The hot water came on immediately and the temperature didn't waver. Some of the "gold" finish was coming off the mirror, and the wall outlet wasn't completely screwed into the wall. I was counting on body wash, since I'd forgotten to pack my own, but no such luck. Judging by the rack screwed into the shower wall, they used to offer shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but it was empty.
The thermostat worked just fine and the blackout curtains were appreciated, but the wall outlet under the desk threw off a bright blue light into the room. The TV and remote worked well and the WiFi was mostly fine, although I did notice a few drops.
The included breakfast was pretty standard, offering eggs, ham and sausage, fruit and yogurt, cold cereal and bagels/muffins, plus coffee and juices. The breakfast room is huge so even though it's very popular, no worries about finding a table. My second morning (Sunday) seemed much lighter on choices; for example, they were out of yogurt, cereal, and sausage patties.
Checkout was nonexistent, since the front desk people were all in the back room chatting amongst themselves. I just tossed my keycards into the bin on the counter and went about my business.
I feel The Clocktower ranks a solid four stars based on my stay. I'd consider staying here again in the future. read more
