There’s much better places to stay

Curtains didn’t cover the window so it was so bright at night that I didn’t need lights. There’s no “do not disturb” that you can put on the door so they go through your room daily whether you like it or not. Awful. I asked to be switched to a room with a better curtain using the phone number they used to get ahold of me and was ignored. I am disabled so it was wonderful to watch them watch me struggle with bags.

Open shower concept in bathroom area. Floor doesn’t slope enough for water to drain so the bathroom floor was flooded with water. Didn’t dry overnight. We had to use towels provided to step on.
