The location is an absolute nightmare to find. We circled like lost souls, only to be greeted by the grim reality of its inadequacies. Parking? Forget about it. The only option they provide is to valet and brace yourself for the extortionate fee of $50, which seems acceptable to charge an arm and a leg for the privilege of not parking your car. As for the ambiance, the pristine facade depicted in the pictures? Pure fantasy. Instead, we were greeted by a scene of a dystopian nightmare – graffiti-laden buildings, ominous scaffolding, and the ever-present hustle and bustle of unsavory characters. The stark contrast between the hotel’s website and reality was shocking. Their site’s images painted a serene oasis, but we found a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie set. Graffiti-covered buildings and ominous scaffolding seemed to hold the place together, and pedestrians risked life and limb in the dimly lit streets. Now, let's talk about their age restriction policy. Not a peep about it on their website, leaving unsuspecting guests to stumble into a minefield of disappointment. If you can call her that, the receptionist practically rolled her eyes at our mere presence, informing us that we couldn't check in because of our age. When we dared to inquire about alternatives, she offered nothing but disdain, claiming that no nearby establishment would accommodate us. Our age is above the minimum, so there shouldn’t have been a problem because we had checked in at various locations without any issue once.

After enduring the ordeal of the location, we finally decided to cut our losses and drive 30 minutes to a nearby town. What a revelation it was! Not only did we find a hotel with a location that didn't require a treasure map to locate, but the service we received was a breath of fresh air compared to the inhospitable abyss we had escaped. Our car found a haven in their parking lot for a reasonable fee. And the best part? We slept like babies, thanks to the comfortable beds that ensured we woke up refreshed and ready to take on the day. It's baffling how such a basic concept as hospitality seemed to elude the establishment we left behind.
