It’s like you decorated the rooms for $100 at Walmart or IKEA. Everything in the hotel was cheap plastic. The egg bites were like hockey pucks. I can’t believe this is related to Hilton.

They have bottles in the shower for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. But they don’t check to make sure they are filled. The body wash bottle was completely empty. And there was hair on the shower floor.
