Yelp 365 challenge: Review 007/365 (8/7/2011)\n\nI'm compelled to update my review because I know now what it's like firsthand to stay in the East Tower at the Cal (accessible via the elevators past the lobby and next to the Buddha statue).\n\nObservations of the East Tower:\n\nThe walls are thin.  Super thin.  Whenever our next-door neighbor on our left opened his/her door, it sounded as if someone was trying to break-in 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 building.\n\nOld doesn't 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 friend's 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's a silly phobia of mine, but nevertheless, still a phobia.  So since then, I'd be on high freak-out 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 vacation.\n\nThe bathtub clogged.  Every.  Single.  Day.  We're only two people (both of whom only took showers), and we definitely weren't using anything that shouldn't go down the drain.  In fact ... half the time my travel buddy used the hotel's 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 Vegas's dry air, a clogged bathtub was, is and will forever be considered one of the most nasty features to have to endure at any hotel.\n\nIf you're reading this and wondering why I didn't \"speak up\" during the entire trip, here's why:  one check-in, one carry-on, 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 headache-inducing ... because really, do I want to make work for myself while on vacation?  =/
