Now, I don't want to complain...

BUT, the hotel is kind of a shithole. It looks really nice and I think it's expensive but I'm not impressed. First, the good - I'm in a suite! It's not just a room but a whole suite, with a living room, a dining room table, a little kitchen/bar area complete with a refrigerator, a microwave, a bar area, a little sink and cabinets. There is even a patio with doors from both the bedroom and the living room. The bathroom is kind of split up with the toilet, bathtub and sink in one small room and another sink in a small room with a closet. The bedroom has a beautiful king bed and a nice television, not to mention that there is another television in the living room. I have no idea why they would spring for a suite for me instead of just a room but it's really awesome! In theory.

First, when I checked in, I was given the key to room 811. Umm, room 811 was not clean. There was trash all over and the bed was unmade. Ick. So, I called them and they moved me to room 911. Room 911 is clean but just about everything is broken. The patio door from the living room won't shut so it stays open about an inch. Lovely. Neither television remote control works. The alarm clock/radio has the wrong time and I had to call them to fix it because the ability to change the time is locked. Who does that? The one bedside lamp didn't work and I happened to notice it while the guy was headed to my room to fix my alarm clock, so I mentioned it to him. Turns out that the lightbulb was just unscrewed. How does that even happen? Oh yeah, I went to get ice and the ice machine is broken. It's really annoying!

Oh yeah, and the bedroom kind of smells like urine. I keep telling myself it's just the smell of some kind of cleaner but I'm really not sure.
