| - Let me begin with this caveat: I wasn't expecting luxury. I wasn't even expecting anything special. I got a very good price on our room. All I was expecting a decent room, with a decent bed, in a decent building.
That said, this was a truly dreadful stay. It's not even worth extensive detail.
To begin, the signs for getting visitors around the large hotel property are useless.
Check-in was quick enough, and the clerk was efficient, professional, and amiable. Nice.
Anything nice ended there. We hiked to our room to drop off our bags.
Oh. My. Gosh. Our building (in the Manor area of the property) was filthy on the outside. The carpet and halls were dirty, and the building smelled terrible. We requested a non-smoking room... and we were welcomed by the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke when we opened our door. The carpet in the room, as in the hall, was extremely dirty. The furniture in the room had huge gouges and strips torn out of it--some as long as a foot or two. Classy. No, not classy.
The television was quite old, but whatever. Not a qualifier for quality for me. Just ended up being another thing to add to the tally of sub-par experiences.
The bed comforter was smelly and dirty. Shiver. I tried not too think about that one too hard.
The bathroom might have been the worst part of the room (ew). There were yellow spatters and splashes and stains all over the walls--seriously, so ridiculous. They were things that would've easily come off with a wet rag. There were filmy splashes and stains on the doors, too. The whole place DESPERATELY needs a wipe-down. Seriously. It would improve it massively. Oh, and you only get shampoo (no conditioner) and two bars of soap, so plan on that. No lotion. No bath gel.
Then, the worst part: Circus Circus walls are only good for keeping out light. I AM NOT JOKING. Our neighbors staying on both sides of us, speaking in regular tones, were clearly audible--many times we could hear everything they were saying. That's not to mention when other guests came home at 12:30 AM and later after having a good time at the bar and speaking rather louder than usual. Anywhere in the hall? You'll hear what they're saying. In their rooms, a couple doors down? You'll hear them there, too. You'll hear everything in the whole building. We even had earplugs that we put in a little after midnight... still noisy. The room air conditioners are like blow-driers. They're that loud.
Last, their "Commitment to the Environment" cards fall pretty flat, when their tub faucets and shower heads pour like rivers. Flow control, anyone?
We love a good hole in the wall, but this was appalling.
