I was shocked upon arrival to find access to the Perkin Hotel was up a severely steep incline and located in a back alley alongside a row of nightclubs and restaurants. Fortunately, however, the guy at the front desk was a big, strong guy and he assisted with all of our luggage. But once we neared the hotel property I was disgusted by the filth, trash, the rats and cockroaches that littered the way to the hotel entrance. The hotel in and of itself was clean, and our room was pleasant enough, with a big, soft, comfortable bed. The main drawback about the room was the loud AC system, which made it difficult to fall and stay asleep. I was also disappointed to learn that there was no onsite restaurant and at one point I needed a spoon but was told that I could not have one, so I had to go down to one just outside the hotel to get one. For the price I paid for this hotel, I expected more and received very little from the staff with exception of the big guy upon my arrival.
