Beware the Palo Verde Inn in Tucson

I used Priceline last week to book a reservation for last night at the Palo Verde Inn in Tucson, so as to be near the airport for this morning’s flight home. The price for the room, with two queen size beds was a mere $53, which impressed the hell out of me.

However, Room 114 had some problems. Besides reeking of cigarette smoke (we asked for a non-smoking room):

The smoke detector was functional, but dangling from wires.

The decorative artwork was hung upside down and a chip of glass was missing.

The faceplate on the air conditioner was askew, a knob was missing and it was inefficient and noisy.

Cigarette burns in the blankets.

Sliding door security bar was non-functional.

Suspicious (blood?) stain on the bathroom wall.

And the real capper – no hot water!
