Q: As part of my buddies bachelor party I wanted to take him to do something that was fun and away from the strip. Yes, we've already went to the gun range last year for another friends bachelor party and shot automatic weapons so this time we decided to go ATVing in the desert. After a quick Internet search, I found Las Vegas ATV Tours and Rentals and went to their web site. I saw their Internet special where we could rent a quad for 3 hours for $99! (A Polaris Trailblazer 250). Over all great experience with this outfit. The lady who took my call was very friendly. Upon arriving we were promptly outfitted with our helmets, gloves and goggles and went through the paper work. Yes, you sign you life away but nothing serious can really happen unless you're doing something stupid. The terrain is mostly hard packed dirt and rocks. Lots of open trails and some technical trails. Be sure to hydrate before you go out because its hot. Also be sure to wear clothes you wont mind getting dirty as you'll be covered in dust by the end of the day.

Q: Eeek! Had a old, musty smell throughout the hotel. The room looked like they tried to upgrade but didn't check out the competition first. The decor was poor and they left the popcorn ceiling. The bathroom was the worst. Right by the toilet tissue holder was peeling paint. The shower was complete with 1970's tile and a shower head that had the water pressure of a sprinkler, which is too mild to take a shower. The linen felt cheap and the hotel elevator took forever to get up and down the floors. This felt like I was staying at somebody's old apartment instead of a hotel. I will definitely not be staying here again.

Q: Images Restaurant is who I'm writing this review for. Gotta say I was very disappointed in the food & service. I ordered a cheese, ham & egg omelet with a side of 5 bacon. I went after work with two co-workers who were already there. Once I sat down a lady came over & I ordered a water. Then shortly after I asked for a cocktail & was told they would send the cocktail waitress over. Well I waited & waited & no one came. So I asked someone who was walking by for the cocktail waitress. Shortly after she came & took my drink order. Then the food came & it was disgusting! They used process cheese slices on top of the omelet & inside it. This cheese was nasty & ruined the omelet so I couldn't eat it. Also the hash browns that came with the meal tasted like they had soaked them in spray butter. I had asked for my bacon to be soggy not crispy & of course it came out crispy. So I told the waitress & she took it away after I asked for soggy bacon again & then I had asked if I could have the 3 side of bacon not 5. She came back with the bacon on a different plate & it kinda looked like the same bacon she first brought. Apparently bacon is not cooked to order here. I told her it wasn't soggy the way I liked it but she left it on the table anyways & there was 6 pieces of bacon not 3 & walked off. When it was check time, mind you we never asked for it, she just brought it over she asked me if I wanted a to-go container because I had barely touched my food & I told her no thanks & told her that I didn't like my food. As anyone who had some common sense could see this since I took like 2 bites of it. Well you would of thought she would of said sorry & taken it off my bill.......NOPE she did neither & I paid for a nasty meal that I refused to eat. Ten thumbs down Images Restaurant & staff!!

Q: The Clarendon touts itself as "A four star boutique hotel in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona." I'm going to call BS on that statement right now because I'm not sure who exactly is giving this hotel 4 stars but from my experience this weekend it can't be anyone who has ever stayed there. My boyfriend and I wanted to spend some time by the pool this weekend since it was so nice out, and I suggested the Clarendon because I had enjoyed their pool before. We decided to make a weekend out of it so we booked a room. All of this spontaneity did not result in a good time. We arrived on Saturday at 3:20ish, and I was really excited to lay out for a bit. However, check in took forever. I'm not even sure why because it seemed like we simply went through their standard process of signing our lives away and placing a card on hold for "incidentals." It was well after 4 before we even got to the pool and then we had to wait at the front desk again for towels which was super annoying. I ended up just taking a towel that I found because I really didn't want to spend any more time in the lobby. When we finally got out to the pool, I began noticing that the hotel is definitely a run down establishment. All of the pool furniture is falling apart and stained (like really gross stains too), and the pool itself is missing tiles and has dirty plaster. But whatever, I just wanted to hang out so I covered my chair in the towels that it took my boyfriend 15 minutes to get from the front desk, and I tried to go on my merry way. That was the point that I started noticing something else about The Clarendon; there are employees everywhere and they are watching you. For example, while my boyfriend and I were by the pool, I noticed some guy employee pointing at us to one of the front desk girls. She then came down to where we were sitting so I made my boyfriend go back up to the room with me right away. It was weird and I really didn't like it. Later that night we also saw this random security guard on the roof harassing this older lady. She was hanging out up there with some drinks, and it didn't really make sense. We also had to wait another 20 minutes at the front desk to get ice. We were told "the owner doesn't believe in ice machines." Hmmm so let's inconvenience our guests and make them wait even longer to get a basic hotel amenity. It is now 9:21am on Sunday morning and I am typing this review on my phone while I listen to housekeeping bang around the hallways right outside of our room. To say that I'm a little frustrated is an understatement. I will certainly not be back to this hotel, and I also have no idea who would give this place four stars. Obviously, not very many Yelpers since they barely have an average rating on Yelp.
