Controversy
The Millenium brand of hotels has come under fire for charging high rates for rooms that are outdated and in disrepair. While many travel and review sites offer poor feedback from their stays at Millenium Hotels, for the first time city leaders are also demanding the hotel group update or demolish their buildings. City of Cincinnati economic development director Odis Jones went so far as saying “The Millennium is in poor shape. It needs more than just a renovation.” The St. Louis hotel has fared no better with customers. "I've never experienced a hotel that was so, not just filthy, but also dilapidated", one St. Louis Millennium visitor claimed. St. Louis leaders demanded that the Millennium do something about their hotel, which resulted in a massive ongoing renovation. The Millennium Minneapolis recently reopened after undergoing a much needed 20 million dollar renovation.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
