I stayed at the Staubridge Suites in Bowling recently while in the area for business. As an IHG member, I have stayed in many Staybridge Suites over the years as they tend to have outdoor pools, outdoor seating, functional fitness rooms and good breakfast options. This hotel is well run, and the staff go out of their way for you. The hotel is dated and could use a refresh. My room was large and it was as clean as it could be; however, I found stains on the walls, carpets and furniture as well as chipping on the room's furniture and fixtures. Given that this is a hotel minutes from a college, who knows what those stains are from, so I did not use some of the furniture in the room. The rooms could also use an update on the technology, as I found little or no USB ports and outlets to charge devices were dated as well. The televisions in the rooms are LG TVs circa 2012. I know this because I had an older LG TV that I bought around the same time. The staff are great, friendly as well and professional. I had no issues with check-in and not much of a wait during check-in. The lobby is large and bright and has seating for people to use in the dining room as well as a medium-sized outdoor pool with covered seating areas. The breakfast is almost buffet style, offering multiple hot and cold choices as well as standard breakfast breads and cereals. There is only one elevator in this hotel, so if you can use the stairs, you might get where you need to go quicker. The wifi in the room had a very good signal and I was able to connect easily. There is no digital key so will have to checkin personally when you arrive. Overall, a well-run hotel with staff who arte proffessional but the rooms need a refresh and a modernization.
