Pros: There were two computers available for surfing the Internet, and a B/W printer.
Cons: Cramped, only half a notch better than a pod-style hotel.
The Bottom Line: Pick only if you can live with cramped.

| kosmotat's Full Review: Cass Hotel |
Now a Holiday Inn Express, the remodeled Cass is a self-described "boutique hotel". That's a euphemism for very cramped. They created a larger number of smaller rooms when they remodeled. There's no place to open up your luggage, and the closet has a small chest of drawers in it, which took up the space which would have been useful for hanging dresses, raincoats, and longer clothing items. We were there in May, so I had to wonder where patrons stored their bulky coats in winter. There's not even enough floor space to leave them on. There's no space for decent seating, so don't plan to lounge around in the room.
The furnishings are adequate but cheap: paint was already chipping off the one year old chairs, which have very low backs so that they fit under the half-table; the two small photos on the wall were of 1950s women's fashions; the night table was probably built by the remodeler; etc. The beds were saggy, despite the firm base (not box springs?).
The only good thing about the (free) hot breakfast items was the biscuits, but there was a good assortment of cereals, yogurt, and sticky buns.
The entire staff was very conscientious and helpful.
We stayed there because they offered Government rates beyond the date of the conference. We should have paid to stay in a more comfortable room with adequate space.
