- Air conditioner in our room was not working. It worked on and off eventually. - Only received turn down service one night. - Door security inside the hotel was rude and wouldn’t let my wife in one afternoon and physically moved to block her…not good. - Trash in our hallway every day - Overall, it needs better management that cares
