| - This hotel by every appearance seemed good, possibly even above average. But as I will detail there are enough issues to rate it below par in my book.
This stay was complimentary by US Airways because my flight was delayed. I was forced to stay over and it was beyond my control as to which hotel would be chosen.
The hotel shuttle picked me, other passengers displaced and some airline crew up to deliver us to the hotel. This was good, no hitch in the transportation at all.
Check in was also flawless and easy, no issues here. It was after midnight and I just needed to get something to eat and go to bed. The staff directed me to a 24 hour diner which I hit up.
The neighborhood is somewhat sketchy, if your not careful you may accidentally roll into one of the two strip clubs that are within a half mile. I let that urge go, I was beat and just got something to eat. My assumption is the area has prostitution and as you will later hear details I think this hotel is utilized in this activity.
After dinner it was after 1 AM and I entered the floor to screams. I thought WTF, is someone being murdered. As I approached my door I found the screams of delight coming from across the hall. Sometimes you just can't resist and I went to the door to see what was up. Sure enough it was someone having a really good time in bed, at least she was because the shrill screaming seemed to go on and on. The do not disturb sign made me only want to bang on the door and tell them to quiet down, but I let that urge go too!
The room appeared in order, but I later found the sheets worn. The room was outdated with no plug ins in site. I called for a wake up call. Next morning a live person called me, nice touch...but it was an hour early and they apologized. They reset it for an hour later, but never followed up, so I almost missed the shuttle and never got a hot breakfast offered.
No issues with the shuttle back to the airport and after getting settled in for breakfast a cockroach was located on my food tray which I thought seemed weird, but it was not on my food, the woman in front of me freaked out as I flicked it off of my tray. Later in the day on my travel another cockroach was located by a passenger who yelled at me saying sir, sir you have something on your bag. My assumption is something I cannot prove, but in my opinion they came from the hotel.
Possibly the best thing about this stay would have been if I had hit a strip joint up. I will remember this hotel and never set foot in it again.
