Bath tub did not drain, even told staff and it was not fixed. Doors to hotel rooms do not close all the way. Big gaps between doors and frame makes it feel like anyone can come into your room at anytime. Hotel key has issues the entire stay. Then staff was rude about where you could put your key. It was not a fun stay and I will never stay here again.
