text: BANG BANG BANG on our door at am by the front desk clerk Why Ok let us start at the beginning Phoenix has an overabundance of budget adequate chain motelhotel rooms and we figured this was one of them When we arrived the day before Thanksgiving we found a fullon construction site so much so that we could NOT find the way INTO the hotel Eventually a workman snaked our way though to an incomplete lobby and we went up to our room AT FIRST LOOK this newly redecorated room looked and smelled clean and even had a somewhat upscale interior design for a budget motel This Ramada is becoming a Holiday Inn we were told But it was downhill after that The water was turned off and we did not have water until three hours after we arrived We turned on the air conditioner because it was in the s and the window does not open WELL we might as well have been in an airplane test hangar because it is SO unrelentingly LOUD that you cannot hear the TVat alland I have great hearing We eventually realized that the Air Conditioner Heat Pump individual unit while there IS a wall thermostat only has ONE setting andit is HIGH Lo and Med still blast at HIGH intensity Little by little the fault became apparent to usthis was a cosmetic touchup but the important things were missing likea BATH TUBthere is no tub just a shower with a shower head that barely yields a dribble of waterthe TV is an old TUBE TV and it is blurry and scrambled and two calls to the desk no one answers the extensions brought no results Speaking of the bathroom there is no window no fan and an illfitting toilet seat that shifts loudly to one side each time you alight Many have complained about their odd shoji pocket door to the bathroom which bounces back open and clipped my husbands hand twice As others have mentioned there are paperthin walls APPARENTLY because we woke up at am to watch the news We are very conscious as we live in a condo to keep our TV down Nonetheless with this HORRENDOUSLY loud wall unit air conditioner if you want to hear the TV you have to turn it up and we did NOT turn it up as much as we would like to butBANG BANG BANG on our door a few minutes after we had gotten up The Front Desk Clerk rudely said when I opened the door which is freaky at am The neighbors complained about the noise and I could hear it all the way down the hall Note to Manager GOOD LUCK RAMADAHOLIDAY INN when it is degrees outside and people have their TVs up much louder than we did to combat the ac on UNRELENTING HIGH Trust me there will be multiple complaints every night Other reviews of this motel have mentioned the same complaints I was planning on telling the desk clerk when we checked out after nights about some of these constructive ideas for their own benefit However the checkout clerk looked like he was NOT open to input probably overdosed on complaints so I refrained Basically the owners have cheaped out on this major remodel If you read this RamadaHoliday Inn Manager at the very least you need to get an electrician to REWIRE the thermostat to get a LOW FAN setting on the ac wall unit buy new TVs replace the toilet seat change out the bathroom shoji door and shoot some insulation into the walls And we are just not all that picky
