Room not in good shape. One of only three lamps for general room lighting didn’t work, bathtub wouldn’t drain (I took a shower in the morning standing in leftover water from the night before). Skywalk to parking garage required an elevator that was out of service so no way to use luggage carts to get luggage to your car.
