One of my worst hotel experiences ever. Our need for a room was to have a place to sleep and shower in the morning. We got back from our venue around 10:30 and fell into the bed. outside street noise went on for a couple of hours. In the middle of the night, there was some weird electronic clicking sound that seemed to be coming from the ceiling. finally, after a not-so-good night's sleep, we both needed to get a shower to prepare for our three-hour trip back to corpus christi. The water trickled out. the water in the sink faucet was stronger. the temperature kept on changing, so we could not even shower in the trickle. in addition, the toilet was not cleaned even to normal home standards (hair, dirt and urine around one of the seat hinges, crud on the shower tile edge next to the glass door, etc. Our 300 dollar room was very small, but attractive. they clearly were using the small space to it's best advantage, with a built-in desk and a tiny couch that still gave us room to move about. when i approached the manager about our situation, he apologized, explaining that only one other person had made the same complaint about the water. turns out it was a bad pump. I insisted that this was a serious inconvenience, and he responded that i had full use of the room up to the morning, so only a small percentage of my stay was impeded. WHAT? a good shower was 1/2 of what i booked a room for. 1/2 to sleep. manager was unempathetic and barely responsive.
