I wanted to surprise my husband to a nice hotel experience since we were driving from Denver, Colorado back to Los Angeles, California. But it turned out to be a terrible suprise for both of us. As most road trippers know, the hotels in Mesquite, Nevada are limited. As often as we've been, I learned of Falcon Ridge as one of the newer hotels that wasn't a casino. As such, I proceeded to book the room (a suite) online and even called to ensure my reservation. As soon as I booked the room I received an automated confirmation, but just in case, I also called--the woman who answered immediately put me on hold. After 15 minutes of being placed on hold I decided to hang up. An email confirmation should hold--shouldn't it? After 13 hours of driving across the Rocky Mountains, Utah, and part of Arizona, we were excited to pull up to the Falcon Ridge Hotel at 1:00 a.m.. There were two cars in front of us who were also checking in at the same time. As I approached the front desk, a man who was pretending to be on the phone (I say pretending because I never saw him speak into the phone nor saw him trying to help anyone on the computer--he was just holding it--which may explain why I was on hold for so long the day before). I told the man I was checking in, he immediately told me the hotel was booked. I told him I reserved the room online yesterday. He responded with "we only hold reservations until midnight". Another guest who just arrived blurted out "That's not true! I was able to get a room. I was told that late arrivals were okay." I asked the front desk clerk what I was supposed to do after driving for 13 hours expecting a room. He looked at me angrily and did not respond. I did not receive a comp, a simple apology, or assistance for another hotel option. Thank goodness I went in and not my attorney husband who would've raised hell (and still might). I cross checked my email confirmation as soon as I got home and did not see a cancellation policy "at midnight". This place is a scam. I called every hotel in Mesquite that night --which were all booked and ended up driving an extra hour and a half to Las Vegas. This was the worst hotel experience. I would not recommend this place to any traveler.
