"HIKERS BEWARE: Welcome to Prison
1. Neglect - toilet wouldn’t flush without sticking hand in tank, bathroom vanity and ceiling falling apart, hung two blankets over paper thin curtains to block bright street lights to sleep, warm/stuffy and windows slam with wind, walls are paper thin and doors make an insane amount of noise. Goodbye sleep.
2. Mismanagement - the owner requested non-emergent access to our room in the early morning and at MIDNIGHT (while DRUNK) to fix the gurgling toilet noise he could hear from downstairs, but never actually fixed the functionality of the toilet. It takes 10 minutes to flush a poop.
3. No food ANYWHERE - no food in the hotel unless served by the hotel. No mini fridge because of the no food rule, so hikers who are planning breakfast/lunch for the following day are screwed.
4. Curfew after 12:30am - locked in the hotel until reception reopens the following morning. Bizarre rule for a hotel in a town where hikers usually start their day at 2-4am for sunrise hikes. The only way out of the hotel at that hour is to preschedule having the door unlocked the afternoon before. Also a safety risk should there be an emergency (fire, earthquake, etc.) and people need to exit the building in a hurry.
5. Returning hotel key to reception - key must be returned each time you leave the hotel because the keychains are sentimental. Utter annoyance and feeling of insecurity given keys are within reach and guests names aren’t confirmed when re-obtaining keys."
