Ouch. That's all we can say when we read Consumer Affairs' scathing review of the Hotel Indigo in Scottsdale, Arizona.

A review of the Scottsdale Indigo which opened January 4th, says the hotel intended to bring nature elements inside the hotel as a way to give guests a more relaxing and rejuvenating experience. But Dan Schlossberg's recent experience sees this in another way, deciding that "new and trendy" is a synonym for "uncomfortable and unfinished", listing more than 10 complaints after his stay. Highlights include:

Guest room walls are so thin that normal conversations can be heard from adjoining rooms ... the bare wooden floor is cold ... Drawers are far too shallow and narrow

And to top it all off, "the whole place reeks of formaldehyde". How very modern. However, the place just opened so we're assuming they are still working out some kinks. If in a month, the place still smells like the Fisher and Sons Funeral Home, then the hotel has got some 'splaining to do.
