Upon arrival, the hotel & room were nice. However, the water pressure in the shower was terrible. The floor in the room was so slippery, I actually fell. There was no top sheet on the bed and the bed was uncomfortably mushy. Lastly, despite the fact that check out was at 12pm, someone from the hotel was knocking on my door at 9:30am which was an issue due to a late night at the philly game. I discussed these issues with the manager. He said he would check into the issues but regarding the no top sheet, he said that is a French...He gave me a credit for the parking & resort fee (total $100). While I appreciate the gesture, it didn't exactly compensate for the terrible night I had.
