WHAT A MISTAKE. \n\nFrom start to finish, here it goes.\n\nThis was my third time going to Vegas. I wanted to stay on the new strip, but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg to do so. I decided to pop my head in this place and rent a room for the night. I believe the room costs around $80 with taxes for a Saturday (and had I known then what I know now, I would have stayed downtown!). So, after check it, my fiance and I went in to our room. \n\nAnd this my friend, is where it all began......to go downhill that is.\n\nHow does one even begin to describe the class of decor presented in this little blow of a devil's fart? I think my personal fav for the 1st room we got put in was the assembly of the curtains over the window. The air conditioning unit was conveniently located directly under the window and to the right. Apparently, the curtain they purchased, which looked like an old comforter from the 60's was too long, so they just cut out a square to leave an opening for the AC unit. WTH?!\n\nI needed to shower...bad. After laying down a crusty towel on the bottom of the shower (who knows what funk lingered in this pit) I turned on the water...and waited...and waited...and turned the knob...and waited...and turned the knob...and waited. The water just NEVER got HOT!\n\nPhone call to the front desk. New room. Bottom level.\n\nThis room had an odd scent of lysol. Perhaps a crack dealer lived in here at one time as there was a mini stove top in the room. The bathroom, equally as grimey as the last room, had a window in to an alley way behind the building. Effin' HOOD! I wanted fresh air in the room to get rid of the scent of old hookers and cleaning solution, but did not feel safe!\n\nThe quickest thing on my mind was getting the hell out of this place. Mgmt would not offer us a refund (even though we had only been in the establishment for less than 1 hour), so we left the room to go out and venture. \n\nQUICK FACT: The second room had serious issues with the door knob/locking. Apparently this room had been broken in to one to many times and was extremely loose. We definitely were hesitant to leave this place with our belongings in it.\n\nTo all you people wanting more information, I urge you not to stay here. Do some research and go plop it on the old strip somewhere. I guarantee that the rates won't be more and you will have a MUCH safer and better experience!!!"^^ . "28"^^ . . .
