We booked the Tropicano hotel as a part of the Wyndham tour stay. Let me say that if you paid more than $40 for your total stay, then you were ripped off. First, you arrive and are told about the parking. I figured this since it is technically downtown and Riverwalk area. We got a reduced rate and I was expecting a covered garage behind this hotel. NOT! You pay $11 ($17 regular price) per day for some open air parking. Next, we make the long walk from the back of the hotel to the front. This hotel is in need of some serious rehab and it looks as though it recently had rehab work done. How that is possible don't ask me. The elevators and common areas are very decorative, nice stonework, lettering, paint, etc. Well they must be doing updates one wing per each floor at a time. The door to our room seemed like it barely could latch shut. There was a piece of tissue stuck through the peep hole, where it was missing a piece. The doors were so flimsy and unable to shut on our end of the hall, every time your neighbor shut their door yours rattled endlessly with theirs. There was a young crowd/group that was there during our stay that made our trip unbearable, but the hotel alone had already turned me off and it was Memorial weekend so I couldnt entirely blame the noise on the hotel. Ive never seen hotel staff painting out in the middle of the hall during the busiest days and on the weekend. The painters did more gawking than painting which could explain why they were taking so long. Our room/bathroom didnt look bad, it looked like some minor updates had been made. Beds were okay, no bugs or anything present. The restroom through me for a loop because of the baby sized toilet that was in there. It looked like someone did some poor planning and squeezed it into a corner (it literally juts out of the wall from an angle). I wish I wouldve taken pictures of that in particular. Like I said, I paid $40 bucks (including parking) for 3 days/2 nights and that was paying too much. I've stayed in some real Mo's before, but this takes the cake.
