Everyting you'd expect from a $79 room. And more
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/10/11
My room needed some updating. Particularly the furniture, including the bed. The mattress was sunken in the middle and I did not sleep very well. Also, the lights in the parking lot are as bright as the sun, which caused me to wake up several times thinking it's light out already and I missed my flight, even with the shades drawn.
I wouldn't call the room dirty, but I wouldn't say it was clean either.
Also, if you say your room number out loud when checking in apparently that means you want the nasty hooker who is hanging around the lobby to call your room and ask if you want her to bring you a glass of wine. I'm guessing the "wine" is also code for something, but I didn't get far enough to figure that out. I told her I wouldn't be needing any wine that night.
The hooker will throw you off because she will be sitting behind a strangely-placed counter across from the front desk with a computer at it, like a concerige for a hotel that you wouldn't expect to have a concerige. She will greet you, and she will smile and make jokes and small talk while you are checking in, building up the image of a hotel employee without actually saying she is. She's tricky. My traveling companions later pointed out to me that this counter with computer is in fact the hotel's "business center" but it's really just a good spot for hookers to sit and listen for the room number cue.
This is probably very convenient for those who enjoy the company of old nasty skanks, but a little off-putting for those of us who do not. I will go so far to say I was terrified for a while. I won't be staying at this hotel again, and I also will never say my room number out loud whilst in a public space in a hotel.
