My experience was so bad, I couldn't wait to get back before I wrote this. I'm still here. And I rarely write scathing reviews, but this had to be said.
My husband and I ended up staying here, but not by choice. His company booked him and some of his coworkers for SXSW late, and this was the best they could get. At first things were fine, pretty nice, decent continental breakfast, cushy beds, wi-fi, but upon return for our second night we found ants on the kitchenette counter. Yep, teeny, tiny little ants.
We promptly told the desk, and they were able to change our room. However, on our third night I was coming out of the shower and sat upon the bed to catch up on my e-mail and turned to notice what I believe was a cockroach near the closet. I say "believe" because I've never actually see a cockroach in person. But it was a large brown bug about two inches long. I screamed bloody murder, and ran out of the room but not before quickly throwing a sweatshirt over my body. My husband wasn't in the room at the time, he was getting some stuff from a coworker, and I told him what happened. We returned to the room to find no sign of the bug, however did locate an area of the little carpet bit that goes up the wall three inches or so that was pulled away from the wall inside the closet, where he could have gone.
A little update: I spoke with a person who claims I may have seen a junebug. However, a bug is a bug.
My husband told the front desk, and then he returned to the room saying that the clerk would come into the room to look for it. She took some time getting to us, and the little guy didn't show back up, and she apologized, said there were no other rooms available (which I guess I could believe, it was SXSW, and there was also some sort of high school tournament going on as well as the Texas Rodeo) however informed us that she refunded us for the night. Yeah, just one night. And we're stuck in this dive for four more nights. read more
