Hot off the presses
Ladies and Gentlemen here is the review of the Clubhouse Inn and Suites.

So first off we went and checked in.  We were told our room is number 164 on the second floor of the apt.   So, here it is, we go down this hall here to get to our room. Or what we assumed was our room!
When my friend was checking in, they "told" us our room was 154.  What they really meant was room 164.  But they keyed the cards for 154, and told us 154.  Needless to say we were rather surprised to open the door and find someone else in our hotel room.  
Guest service-  The ladies at the counter actually asked my friend Kimberly why she tried to open the wrong door.   We were rather confused by this.  Kimberly tried to nicely remind them they GAVE her the wrong room number.  She then politely asked them if the keys open more then one door.   They didn't like this question and responded " they shouldn't".    Not the nicest ladies I have met at a hotel, but eh what can you do?  This would be a case where i'm sure their database system is in fine working condition, but human error cause the mistake in the check in process.  Even though I'm thinking this hotel could probably do with a more updated database system to keep track of which guest is where and which room is empty or filled.


Well my first impression walking into the hotel was that it smelled really nice!  I know thats odd, but its kind of important, and probably means they actually clean it on a regular basis.
So in case you cant see the rug here is what it looks like.  I think its pretty much your regular albuquerque styles decor for a rug.


 Obviously this hotel did their market research finding a pattern and type of carpet that will stand its wear and tear of the years a little bit easier then others.  I find the design kinda nice.  Then again this is the first time I have actually taken the time to look at the carpet and see if its really clean in a hotel that I am staying at.   What do you all think? does the carpet look nice?


So the next step obviously is walking into the hotel room. My friends got into the room before I did. Se please excuse the stuff on the beds.  Notice the copious amounts of pillows on the beds. I'm thinking somewhere down the line they did a focus group on what someone is looking for in a hotel bed, and they got the idea to put tons of pillows!  Well I personally approve!


Ok so the only thing I would love to know is what the round pillow on there is for? and what is the point of the small skinny blanket at the end?  Other then looks?  If you going purely for looks here then the hotel is good!








So of course my next step is to check out the bathrooms! So here it goes!

                   
What's next Chelsey? you may ask?  well I'll tell you.  The next most important fixture is the desk. If you a student such as me you want something functional that you can cram a little bit of homework into before you spring break ends. so here is what the desk looks like.



 There you see over there the wifi on the screen, plus the terms of use that you have to click "I agree" to, in order to use the internet. So the question is. If your going to do something the hotel disagrees with. Are you really going to not click agree?  Sure this connection is safe. But probably not as much as one would think.

Well lest you think I was at this hotel for nothing but taking pictures of random stuff in a hotel, we did get to have some fun!   One of the deciding factors to choosing the hotel was the supposed Awesome jacuzzi they had. Yes it was indoors. Yes it was humongous. But was it all bubbly? Did all of the jets actually work in it? no! Some of them didn't.  But alas, I cant tell you about the jacuzzi without proof I actually went to it. So here it is  to end my post.  It wasn't as hot as I am used to, felt more like lukewarm bath water, but after a while you were definitely jumping out trying to catch some cool air, so according to my friends. I should give this jacuzzi a thumbs up! Specially since there were actual towels down there for us to use. Although the bin for putting used blankets had roaches. Thats the online other thumbs down here.
