Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. This may go down as one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. Here are the facts, ma'am:
1. The air conditioner - on full blast - struggled to keep our room temperature down to a sweaty, toasty 76 degrees.
2. The television - which looked like it was from a closeout special a decade ago - had a snowy picture.
3. Thug types run amok in the complex.
4. While #3 happens, the yellow-shirted security guard clips his fingernails. No, I'm not exaggerating; I (unfortunately) saw it.
5. The ice machine on our floor did not work.
6. I asked for a room with two beds, and while I did get this, there were two ROOMS as well, which only compounded the air conditioning problems.
7. We had plenty of hand towels but no wash clothes.
8. Because I booked a room for two consecutive nights but on under two different reservation numbers, I returned after my first night to find myself locked out of my room. I had to go to the desk and RE-CHECK IN, then MOVE TO ANOTHER ROOM! Hello? Hello? Anyone home? Common sense? When I initially checked in, the woman simply said, "Two beds, three nights." She did not say, "Two beds, three nights, three different rooms." Good grief.
9. Much of the staff seems paranoid. This is one thing I don't have hard evidence of; call it a general feeling.
10. The carpet was dirty.
Now, don't get me wrong: I do not expect much when I spend $60 for a Friday night in Vegas. But I do expect a clean room with a working air conditioner (Vegas in July, people...) and some iota of common sense from the staff. But you won't get that.
I try to find the good in everything, so I'll say that when I found a working ice machine, the ice was cold.
I can't stress this enough: Do not stay here, even if it is cheap.
