| - Okay, I don't understand why everyone is giving this hotel so many stars. (I find it funny some of the reviewers actually work there LOL) I went for the first time this weekend to see Damain Marley and Nas in concert. Now, JUST pulling in to the hotel was already a bad experience. I am pretty sure that the guys who designed this place (both inside and out) were on acid when they did it, and just scribbled on some paper. It was worse than trying to figure out a labyrinth.
I valet a lot, and even before I had ever been to the Cosmo, I was warned by a couple of different friends that the valets have a tendency to steal. One friend actually had his iPod Touch stolen out of his arm rest, and they refused to do anything to replace it. Anyway. I pull in to valet to see "Valet Full." Okay, that's weird for a new, hip, hotel but it happens. My boyfriend rolls down the window to ask about self parking, and hears a worker tell another patron say, "No, it's not full. There is just no valet at all." Huh??? SO we go to the parking garage and the sign says there's 100+ parking spaces, buuuuut there were none - on more than one floor. The garage itself is poorly designed, as if they just tried to fit as many cars into one tiny space as they could. Parallel parking spaces in a parking garage? Seriously? It took us almost an hour just to find a spot. And that's just the parking.
When we walk into the hotel, it is gorgeous. The art is digital, hip and pretty cool. The chandelier is AMAZING to look at. Aesthetically, the Cosmopolitan is very pleasing. However, that's about all the props it gets. I asked a worker where to go to pick up tickets, and they said "I don't know. I think the pool is on the 5th floor, though." (Despite the sign right next to him saying that it's on the 4th floor.) Apparently, "I don't know" was the phrase of the night for most of the staff, because nobody knew anything. Two people actually directed us to Marquee after I asked them where the Boulevard Pool was. Some of them didn't even know about a concert at all. Communication much? After asking 8 different people (no exaggeration), and 30 more minutes of walking around, I finally found ONE man who told me where to pick up my tickets.
Did I mention the inside is just as much a maze as the parking garage? The escalators are not close to eachother at all, and I felt like I was going in circles. I was dizzy by the time I reached will-call. Needless to say, chances are, I will not be going back. For a place that is supposed to be new and hip and for all the hype it gets, that's all it is - hype.
