My first impression of the hotel was the amount of "Ladies (and gentlemen) of the evening" of all shapes, sizes, and genders (including a 6'4" beauty in a minidress and 5 o'clock shadow) waiting outside. Then it was a locked metal door with no window. Once buzzed in, I entered the lobby, and was greeted with more of the "late shift." The desk clerk (poor thing) offered to show me the room to see if I would like to cancel (a sure sign you're in a five star place), but as it was after midnight, and I just wanted to sleep, so I told her it was fine. On entering the room, . . . well, let's just say I was glad I didn't bring a UV flashlight because I would have been tempted to use it. For a non-smoking room, there were certainly a lot of cigarette burns in the comforter, and the mattress was, . . . well-used.
As I told my wife, our trip could only get better from here. Sorry, I do NOT recommend this place. At all. My tent in Iraq had more charm and cleanliness than this place.
