Hotels, great location paid for sweet didn’t get

Well, the fact that I paid for a one bedroom suite and did not receive one bedroom sweep, but I was told I did and then I had a friend staying the same hotel room who got the one bedroom suite which was completely different room, which was much better kind of made me really angry that they tried to tell me that I was getting one and then I didn’t very disrespectful

Lobby fire

We were recently there for a tournament and during our stay at some point in the night around 4:30 in the morning, a shopping cart lit on fire was shoved into the lobby, causing the entire building to evacuate and it took over an hour to get back in and over three hours to get water back on so we could shower and go better day, there was no communication or anything in regards to this or compensation, which made the next night extremely difficult to want to stay. This event traumatize my children to the point where it ruined our trip.
