| - The hotel itself is fine. The rooms are clean and nicely appointed. We did not see any signs of bed bugs. What was NOT FINE was the crappy breakfast. We paid over two Ben Franklins and you know what we got for breakfast? Fake eggs. Read that again. Fake eggs. They were scrambled and they were nasty. Two Franklins and I get fake eggs. We stayed at much lesser places on our Arizona vacation and we got much better food. The Comfort Inn in Payson, for example, was half the price and the breakfast was DELICIOUS. You can see why I would expect real eggs, then, when I pay twice as much. The room was nice and on the third floor, the TV worked -- OH Wait a minute! We turned off the TV to go to sleep, and there it was: an incredibly loud ticking noise. It sounded like a time bomb. In our groggy state, we had to get up and systematically start unplugging all the wires one by one behind the dresser to find it. It turned out it was the mini-fridge. We had to unplug it in order to get any sleep. Note to self: great wartime torture to get prisoners to talk---ticking mini-fridge. And the last straw: if you do book a room here, make sure you request --- no, DEMAND --- a room that is NOT across from a conference room. We were awakened early by a bunch of conference attendees streaming in to the conference room right across from our room. Laughing, jostling, loud talking as they went in. They left the conference door wide open as they waited for everyone to arrive. UNACCEPTABLE. Who places CONFERENCE rooms next to guest rooms? Why aren't all the conference rooms downstairs where they're supposed to be, away from the paying guests trying to sleep? This is ridiculous! Would you like to have a car alarm installation business located next to your house? We mentioned this to the manager as we were leaving and he didn't even make eye contact. He didn't care. He got his Ben Franklins and we were flying home. If you like fake eggs, loud ticking noises in your room, and conference attendees whooping it up real early across the hall, this is the place for you!
