I was greatly disappointed in our room. I had read good reviews; and my assumption is that those reviews must have been from rooms that were remodeled. Our room was not. New flooring; but safety issues& stained furniture,stained drop ceiling were disgusting. Fridge did not have back& was open. Clear safety issue.

Breakfast was great. But the sink in our room was initially clogged. We submitted maintenance request, they unclogged, but as a result the pipe under the sink started to leak, we submitted another maintenance request and that was never addressed, we just had a pool of water under the sink and on the floor that we had to keep mopping with towels
