text: I traveled to Las Vegas to interview with an airline I had to pay full fare even though I was flying on my possible new employer A two day interview that required that I pay for my own accommodations I placed a bid on Priceline for an economical hotel I was booked here from the th to the th of February The Strip is four miles away nnThe exterior of this hotel is nothing to look at perhaps borderline tacky I can go into detail however nothing artistic beautiful classy or stylish It could very well be military barracks n nThe lobby is pretty generic rural Motel plain Jane do not close the curtain while you are in the shower type of place The checkin process took about two minutes and no frillsnnMy room was on the first floor I made two left turns and meters down the hallway it seemed I was inside a crackhouse in the Bronx just with newer paint no graffiti and absent prostitutes smoking cigarettes by their doors Inside my suite is a clean space containing a Home Depot GE refrigerator two electric burners a stainless steel sink tacky plastic twocup coffee maker plenty of counter space one queen size bed with five pillows ironing board broken Hamilton Beach iron clean spacious bathroom and my biggest disappointment a cathode ray tube Zenith Concierge television that I never turned on nnBesides the television the next biggest problem with the hotel is the thickness of both the walls and suites door I was on my phone and I could hear clearly one adjacent neighbor exhaling with anticipation for the end of my call How long can a neighbors phone conversation echo across three suites My other wallneighbor was a double and possibly a triple occupancy They most probably are banking on the Las Vegas ad term what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Of course unless nine months later there is a need for a bigger home nnThe front door Mary Mother of God You could hear a pimp flipping through his cash meters away The door looks sturdy but it does not filter any hallway sounds Its like having a beaded curtain for a sound barrier nnIf you bring your computer the front desk will give you the password to use their free server If you decide to relax in your room with headsets on and watch a movie on Hulu then you are in for a Buddhist Monk test of patience A minute episode of Revenge can take hours to complete because of the buffering Lastly to keep this review short do not slide open the curtain of your window facing the parking lot just do not do it nnIf you made it this far then you deserve to know Every single employee has been courteous genuinely interested in helping Housekeeping was courteous and accommodating nnOn my last day I received a call from the front desk The front desk clerk called to ask me if I was going to use my suites phone The Hotel is going to do a phone upgrade and phones will go offline No problem I have a cell phone I immediately placed a wakeup call and explained I was going to the airport A free shuttle from the hotel front door at my am check out time However I did not receive the wakeup call and there was no shuttle surprise The lady working at my checkout am shift explained there was no wakeup call request made Also there are about shuttle services and they all charge at least So my only call to my room must have been a prank even though they usually do shut down phone service during upgrades nnOk let us wrap it up Efficient check in Helpful housekeeping No extra resort surprise fees nnUse Priceline and bid for a occupancy room Do not forget to bring a set of foamy ear plugs
