Where to start…upon arrival I was already somewhat rattled!!! Although the walk from the train station was short it felt unsafe. Check in was easy and the ambiance of the lobby was rather eclectic and fun. Once we arrived to the room, I was beginning to settle until we realized the AC was not working. After speaking with the man at the front desk we were told the AC had been disconnected bc the heater had been turned on for winter. Funny thing is that we traveled with our friends and their room was like a freezer. Once we shared this info the gentleman did go out of his way to find us another room with working AC, but sadly this room was not much cooler (not the kind that promotes good sleep). Additional things to note: the trash was not emptied, the pillows were flat, the linens were scratchy, my friends were given keys to an occupied room, the window facing the front street of the hotel provided much noise all through the night into the morning hours~along with a view of a female urinating in the street at 8:30 am. We did manage to get a few interrupted hours of light rest and was never happier for morning to come. I have stayed in many hotels all over the world but never in an area that made me feel this uncomfortable. In the few hours we ventured out we saw drug dealing, drug usage, prostitution and a lot of homeless folks. Nonetheless, far more stress than one needs while on vacation!!!
