We called the front desk seeking a room change. Phone lines and cables ran loose along the floor. Our courtyard view consisted of a view of the top of an exhaust stack, a tarred roof, and a wall. The room was horribly dated with a worn faded leather couch, two dirty plaid chairs and a brown floral polyester bedspread.

We entered the room (201) and our disappointment was complete. This wasn’t the normal gentle contact one would expect in a modern elevator. She had to forcibly push it back open to extricate herself. I entered the elevator and as my wife attempted to do the same, the elevator door literally slammed closed on her, wedging her between the elevator door and elevator wall. Once we entered my sense was confirmed but I was hopeful. At last our courtyard view suite was indeed ready! As we drove our car around to the most accessible entryway to the room, I noted that this was likely the older portion of the hotel. Another 15 minutes passed and we were once again at the counter. We were told to get back in line (for the third time). After waiting at least 20 more minutes (next to the counter) my wife stepped forward and inquired as to whether our room was ready yet. To be clear, it was ready but hadn’t been inspected yet so we stepped aside under the mistaken belief that we would be signaled when the room was ready. After a 15-20 minute wait we were told, again, that our room wasn’t ready. When we arrived we were told our room wasn’t ready and to check back in an hour. We booked a suite with a courtyard view a week prior to our arrival on March 24th, 2021. We had planned to wrap up the trip with a two day layover at the Wildhorse Resort & Casino.

We planned a week long excursion traveling new roads and exploring places we’ve long wanted to knock off our bucket lists.
