If you're a flesh-eating zombie, then you will love this hotel. If you're a living, breathing human being, then you will not. We walked into our room after midnight check-in to find that the power had been shut off in our room. Meaning that after 90 degree temperatures all day, the room had no air conditioning whatsoever. A call to the front desk provided no recourse, as the attendant who had literally just checked us in said that he had no information on as to why the air conditioning had been shut off in an un-occupied room. Clearly this was a cost saving measure, having seen the rest of the facility. We also requested an additional pillow. Even just one. Considering that we were two (2) guests sharing a Queen-sized bed, which was equipped with three (3) Twin-sized pillows. The attendant informed me that they could not provide any additional pillows, because; (a) the hotel was allegedly completely booked, with no vacancies, which apparently means that every possible pillow was in-use, and (b) guests tend to steal pillows from this hotel. With their kind of guests and the abundance of illicit substance use, we are certainly not surprised. The bathroom was equipped with: an over-head heat lamp, three (3) out of four (4) vanity lights in-tact, a sink that was clearly sat on at one point and breaking off of the wall from the weight, just enough bath towels for one (1) guest, and enough strange hairs to make a paintbrush. To top it all off, there were always flies or fleas or gnats that would come up out of the sink drain and bounce around your ankles. Any positive review of this establishment is clearly written by an employee, supervisor, or representative of the staff. Because, I find it very difficult to believe that our room just so happened to be the only room in this condition. There are no coincidences, only consequences.
