Smallest room ever

This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. There wasn't even a dresser, bench, or chair to sit on or anywhere to out your things. The room was hot and you couldn't get it below 67 degrees. After an event in 100 degree weather, this was very disappointing. They don't even have ice for guests, other than a small bucket you could request from housekeeping. The bed was way too firm and uncomfortable. The restaurant's food options were very limited (nothing we would eat), so we had to go out for food despite planning to eat at the hotel. It took about an hour to get checked in as the car valet was MIA for awhile and the desk staff was too busy talking to a friend. Finally, one of the ladies stepped aside and helped us.
