What Cascadas could be but isn't IMO
With this hotel being right in the heart of the action and with its association to HK it could be a gem. But it isn't a gem to me because of the small things that just add up.
Pros:
Proximity-first and foremost. Again, right in the middle of action IE multiple clubs surrounding & scene.
Reasonably priced rooms.
Reasonable room accommodations: Wi-Fi strength, room cleanliness (I dare say).
Rooms are literally built for sex LOL: furniture, multiple porn stations on TV, pictures on the walls, hot tubs, showers, etc. It's sex sex sex.
To boot, the 24/7 bar and restaurant is decent too.
But Cons:
Doing anything is a freaking burden at this place; checking in, checking out, walking around the hotel (multiple checkpoints to get patted down and metal detected, etc.).
Price / money gouging at every point / minute; checkout I only got a portion of my $50 back because they said my room was dirtier than most? And by dirty, they meant (beer bottles that were not drank everywhere).
And why were the non drank, full freaking bottles everywhere? Because when you bring a girl to your room from the club (a room you paid for, not rented for an hour) they constantly call your room every 30 mins or so to make you buy drinks or gouge you for something. It's terrible.
Basically improved efficiencies and leaving true guests the hell alone would go a long way for me.
In summary, I'm still a bigger fan of getting a nicer hotel (Pueblo or Ticuan) outside the zona and calling over multiple agency girls at my leisure.
Question for upcoming trip
Folks, I have a trip coming for a weekend for TJ, I did RTFF and absorbed a lot of great information already provided, I think I missed out on answers to couple of questions, appreciate if experts please chime in -.
1) How is the reliability of ATM machines in Zona area, or would you recommend getting cash ahead of time. Possible to get change ($ or $5 bills) if I don't already have enough of them with me?
2) How is the reliability of AT&T mobile towers in Zona area, I have prepaid, not sure if that would work at all out there?
