Looks Good From The Outside

Here are some pictures of our hotel in Tucson, The Riverpark Inn.


First of all, there are no rivers here. We are in the desert. Second of all, this is not what I would consider to be an "Inn".

I will say that the lobby is really nice, and the pool looks nice. However, here are a few little things about this hotel that you would not know from looking at the photos:

1. Half of the stuff around here does not work. My fridge and lamp have had to be replaced. The ice machine in my building is out of order. The hot tub looks nice, but is broken. The pool looks great, but it feels like someone melted a large amount of ice cubes into it. Can't use either one.

2. There is construction right out of my sliding glass door. They are building these massive tents for some gem convention. Between the noise and the mass amount of male workers, my room is not exactly relaxing, and I have not used my patio other than to dry some clothes I washed.

3. We have to walk through dirt to get to the theatre, and the downtown area. Try lugging your rolling briefcase through that!

4. The doors slam so hard here that it shakes the walls.

All of that being said, it has been sunny and in the 70's all week, which almost makes up for the other things. OH! And my friend Craig was doing laundry, and while his load was in the washer, they came in and put an "out of order" sign on the dryer! They actually told him he should go to a laundry mat to finish it rather than offering up their housekeeping dryer.
