"room key didn't work, then toilet ran constantly, safe didn't work, phone didn't work, they fixed all then they came to get bags and when we went down to claim bags took over 20mins there was no line. They didn't have a radio to call and we had a time to be somewhere. Not happy for the price"
"The room had roaches. I took picture of one crawling up wall by the bed. The juice machine didn't work at breakfast but they didn't put a sign on it. When we told front desk it wasn't working. The man said yeah it's broke. Then we went to get coffee instead and it was out. This was 7:30am . The reason we booked was so many reviews said how clean it was."
