"The Riggs was a big disappointment. Cool idea: old bank building. Good location. Staff welcoming. Even got a room upgrade thanks to Expedia. But my room was grim. Dark wallpaper that showed dirt flecks, scarred furniture, dusty rugs and headboard. It looked like no one had dusted. There was no turn ..."
