This
is
a
pretty
meh
property.
It’s
definitely
conveniently
located,
but
so
are
the
other
10
hotels
on
the
block.
It
is
bright,
spacious,
clean,
and
has
all
the
amenities
you’d
want.
Employees
were
decently
friendly
and
even
the
complimentary
breakfast
was
pretty
good.
No
bacon,
sadly,
but
the
property
and
amenities
were
decent.
But
then
you
get
the
rooms,
which
they
for
some
reason
classify
as
“suites.”
I’ve
stayed
in
a
true
one
bedroom
suite
in
Vegas.
Double
sinks,
two
TVs,
a
soaking
tub,
bathrobe,
separate
guest
half
bath,
the
works.
That
was
a
suite.
Sure,
the
rooms
here
may
technically
be
“25%
larger
than
your
average
hotel
room”
but
that
extra
space
is
mitigated
by
the
atrocious
layout.
Bathrooms
are
in
front
of
the
bed
(the
stock
photos
conveniently
don’t
show
that
angle)
so
you
get
to
see
the
backlit
silhouette
of
whoever
is
in
there
while
you’re
in
bed.
Plus,
this
layout
means
no
TV
in
front
of
the
bed
like
every
other
hotel
ever.
There
is
a
decent
sitting
area
flanked
by
a
desk,
but
then
there’s
just
all
this
wasted
space
by
the
front
door.
Finally,
several
of
my
lights
didn’t
work.
There
were
two
switches
by
the
front
door
that
didn’t
do
anything
(and
the
front
desk
didn’t
know
what
they
were
supposed
to
do,
either).
There
was
a
mini
closet
against
the
back
wall;
just
an
absolutely
bonkers
layout
overall.
What
truly
irked
me
about
this
property
was
that
there
was
only
ONE
front
desk
agent.
The
minute
we
walked
in
to
check
in,
she
received
a
phone
call
and
spent
TEN
MINUTES
helping
someone
on
the
other
end
book
a
room.
Doesn’t
Marriott
have
a
1-800
number
for
reservations?
Isn’t
there
someone
in
the
back
who
can
take
the
call
instead?
The
sole
front
desk
agent
responsible
for
all
hotel
guests
should
not
be
making
reservations.
When
I
came
down
later
to
ask
a
question,
I
was
faced
with
a
line
three
deep
and,
you
guessed
it,
still
ONE
front
desk
agent.
A
single
front
desk
agent
(who
doesn’t
speak
English
to
boot)
is
to
be
expected
at
Motel
6
or
Super
8
or
whatever
bargain
basement
bedbug
hotel
you
see
for
$49
on
Priceline.
This
place
charges
$150/night
most
weekends.
Assuming
a
full
house,
119
rooms
*
$150
equals
$17,850
revenue
for
ONE
NIGHT.
Two
front
desk
agents
at
an
unrealistic
$20/hour
*
24
hours
is
$960.
So,
it
looks
like
this
property
owner
is
too
cheap
to
give
up
just
5.3%
of
his
daily
take
just
to
keep
the
front
desk
properly
staffed.
If
they’re
skimping
on
staff
this
badly,
you
gotta
wonder
where
else
they’re
cutting
corners.
I
don’t
know,
maybe
my
expectations
are
a
little
unrealistic.
Maybe
I
have
to
get
to
the
$300/night
properties
to
have
more
than
one
human
available
at
the
desk
responsible
for
basically
running
the
place.
I
just
feel
like,
for
$150,
there
should
be
more.
There
should
be
more
employees,
better
breakfast,
and
better
rooms.
Come
on
down
to
SpringHill
Suites!
Our
front
desk
agents
double
as
call
centers
and
don’t
know
how
things
in
your
“suite”
work.
Sit
back
and
stare
at
the
frosted
glass
door
(that
didn’t
properly
latch,
by
the
way)
of
the
bathroom,
stare
st
your
suitemate
working
at
the
desk,
or
hang
up
your
suit
in
the
world’s
most
awkwardly
placed
closet.
Or,
if
you’re
feeling
really
spicy,
dance
in
the
huge
void
by
your
front
door.
$150
please.
At
least
the
parking
is
free...
