Tropicana – Condition of Hotel Rooms

[ARCOS]

Hi all –
I just got off the phone with the AAOS Meetings group and in discussing an issue that my chief residents had at the Venetian (they were charge an upgrade fee for something they didn’t request / or that was a part of their original reservation), I mentioned that a number of people had less than stellar accommodations at the Tropicana. It was suggested that those individuals that were assigned rooms / reassigned rooms, etc., that you contact AAOS Meetings at 800-931-6026 and provide them with details of your stay.

The conditions at the Tropicana were not worth the money spent. There was no refrigerator in the room. Normally, there would be amenities in the room which we did not have. The bathroom looked dirty when we first walked in and outdated and you can hear the toilet flush from the adjacent room which I have never experienced before. I understand it is a casino and people smoke, but the ventilation was horrible especially for someone like me that has asthma. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I had to change room the next day because the smell was terrible, like humid not mold. The second room the smell was different, not as bad as the first. The condition of the bathroom on the second room was not good, the tub had a couple of cracks and chipped and there was black mold between the tub and on the tile.

I agree with Tica, not worth the money.

I am glad this was posted as I was just keeping my experience to myself but will contact the AAOS. I have very bad Asthma and walking through the casino to get to The Towers was just awful. I asked for a non-smoking room, yet the people next door were smoking marijuana (which I know is legal there) however, it was coming into my room. I had the spot lights on the side of the hotel coming right into my room all night. I as well smelled the moldy smell in the hallway. Thank you ladies for this information.

I thought that all ARCOS rooms were supposed to be together. My room was in the Paradise Tower – were any other coordinators in this tower?

I was in the Paradise Tower and when I reserved the room I did not get a blocked room.

I called the AAOS Meeting and because I reserved the room directly with the hotel, they were not able to assist me because there is no record of the stay on their system. Therefore, the representative was not bale to take the information. Has anyone had this issue?
