Moderate/Poor condition in the room

The condition in my room was not so pleasant. The casegoods within the room was poor, I was unable to watch cable tv in my room, and I had to ask at the check-in desk for housekeeping. Also, there were a few markings on the wall and tables. Other than that, the employees was kind.

I was extremely dissatisfied with my charges at Edgar’s, when I picked up my dinner on 3/4/25. I was charged an additional $62.04 for liquor, I did not have. I do not drink. Trying to get this charge removed but not having much luck. I was told I needed to call back.
