I know alot of you like the 4Q's. I read alot of good reviews. I think I expected too much. I like places like the SouthPoint, MGM, Stratosphere. Yes, the Strat. These are not luxury places but modern, I guess.
I booked 4Q on Expedia for Jan. 1 thru the 4th at $26 a night. When I arrived and stepped off the elevator on the 18th floor I knew I had made a mistake. It reminded me of a senior home or nursing home already, and this is the hallway. It was just so small and the ceilings were inches above my head. I opened my room door and was hit in the face with a 82 degree room. The room was not very clean, carpets not vaccumed. And so small. The bathroom faucet and toilet looked like they were from the 70's. The air wasn't on. I couldn't get it to work. I turned the thermostat down and nothing happens, I turn it up and the heat comes on. I called down and they said they would send a engineer. OK, an hour of waiting and I go down to the casino. Maybe he or she will come while I'm out. I returned to the same heat. I opened the window and got on the phone with Expedia.
I told them I called and no engineer has come. Yes, I called once. No, I didn't feel I should have to keep calling the front desk. I told the friendly guy on the phone I wanted to stay elsewhere. He said to hold and he would get the hotel on the phone. He came back on to tell me the desk had no notes of my call down. So, another reason I now dont like the 4Q's. I tell him I want to cancel and go elsewhere. No refund on this first night but the next 2 are cancellable. Great! I book the SouthPoint for the 2nd and 3rd.
Am I too young for the 4Q's? It just didn't seem like Vegas to me. When I go to Vegas I like a nice room with new, clean furnishings. And some A/C also. I slept that night with the window open and even on the 18th floor it was sooo noisy. All cabs should have their horns disconnected. Seriously, I heard cab horns several times every minute.
So, whats up with all the great reviews? I am not wealthy. I dont live in a mansion, in fact a farm house in rural Iowa. Maybe I just happened to get the wrong room on the wrong day.?
