text: Yelp challenge Review nnIm compelled to update my review because I know now what it is like firsthand to stay in the East Tower at the Cal accessible via the elevators past the lobby and next to the Buddha statuennObservations of the East TowernnThe walls are thin Super thin Whenever our nextdoor neighbor on our left opened hisher door it sounded as if someone was trying to breakin our room I could also hear housekeeping doing their rounds every single morning which was relatively early since we usually woke up sometime around noon To make matters worse there were doors within our room connecting us to both the left and the right Each door created a considerably wide open gap over the carpeted floor As a result it was unavoidable to hear the TV as well as conversations going on especially in the room to our right Noises are definitely amplified rather than muffled within this buildingnnOld does not necessarily have to mean dirty but in the East Tower unfortunately the two go hand and hand One night while in bed watching TV my travel buddy heads to the bathroom Seconds later SLAPSLAPSLAP The lovely sound of a huge cockroach being smashed by my friends slipper He disposed of most of it in the toilet but I came by later and discovered a squashed pair of legs and wings If you know me you know that I hate and absolutely fear roaches It is a silly phobia of mine but nevertheless still a phobia So since then I would be on high freakout alert whenever I was in the room half expecting one of those monsters to swoop in and attack This is the last thing I want or expect to have to deal with on vacationnnThe bathtub clogged Every Single Day We are only two people both of whom only took showers and we definitely were not using anything that should not go down the drain In fact half the time my travel buddy used the hotels toiletries and without fail I always used natural organic hair cleansers which are actually better for the environment So although I cherished that time every day in which I could temporarily free myself of Vegass dry air a clogged bathtub was is and will forever be considered one of the most nasty features to have to endure at any hotelnnIf you are reading this and wondering why I did not speak up during the entire trip here is why one checkin one carryon one handbag and a big pile of new things from LV that remained unpacked all of which were mine The thought of having to transport everything to another room especially in the West Tower was headacheinducing because really do I want to make work for myself while on vacation
