"It's a dump."
Those were the first words out of my mouth when we stepped into our room at the Cosmo.
It's about the size of a large closet. The beds are less beds and more cots. They're comically tiny. When I lie down, my feet hang over the edge.
The two beds are also frustratingly close together, so we actually wound up moving one of them entirely. We turned it around and shoved it closer to the bathroom.
(To be fair, aside from being insanely small, the bed is relatively comfortable.)
The room is otherwise really rundown and shoddy. There is virtually no storage space, so I'll have to live out of my suitcase the week I'm here.
The cramped bathroom smells pretty bad, too, especially after you use the sink. I definitely won't dare drink any of that water.
Another weird thing is the humidity of the room. It doesn't matter what you set the temperature to: you always feel damp.
On the plus side, the WiFi is pretty fast.
Ultimately I don't think I would've been so upset if the webpage hadn't been completely misleading. The site makes the Cosmo seem like a luxurious hotel, when it's actually about the caliber of a cheap roadside motel.
The amount we paid for the room is much, much more than it deserves. What a scam. read more
