This hotel was a good value for our family. We booked because of the location to museum campus and indoor pool. We were traveling with our 4yr old and wanted some place to relax after a long day on foot. The patio was great but pool water tempurature was absolutely freezing. Life guard stated that it is "80 degrees...give or take" We were blue and chattering in minutes. What a disappointment for the 3 of us. Bed size is full sized at best and pillows horrible. Room appeared as recent remodel, they did a nice job for older building. Frig in room nice surprise. We ate at resutrant once and food ok for price. Bar staff very kind and accomidating for snacks that we could take to our room for child. Would not stay again due to poor sleep and unusable pool.

We enjoyed our stay at the Essex Inn. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was perfect - it was an easy walk to the aquarium and museum. There was a bus stop right outside the hotel, so it was easy to get around town.

I had problems at the hotel. My personal items were disposed off by somebody from the room. When I complained at front desk ,first they declined or ignore it. Then I called travelocity to move me. I believe he was the manager and he said he was going to have security check and I should go back to room. No body turnedup. After one hour when I made call to travelocity. I went back to front desk and then they gave me supplies to replace mine one. Adequate room service was on Sunday,Apr.26(?). Rest were a hog wash. No display card in room for Do NOt Disturb. I do not believe I will again use travelocity unless I do not have any choice. I had better luck with other agencies.

Our room was on the small side, as was the bathroom, but it was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. It had the duvet-type beddding, instead of a nasty bedspread, and I always appreciate that. We paid $* for our room, and were happy to find a mini-frig, coffee pot, and ice down the hall. Parking was $37. Lobby's small, but who cares? Huge swimming pool, sauna and workout area at no extra charge.
