Reception Desk

Front desk ate an apple while I was checking in. She was also on a personal cell phone call during my arrival and was speaking and laughing to them in another language while I stood there. Returned the next day for fresh towels and she made me go back up to room to get my dirty ones first, then follow her to laundry and dump them myself. Unbelievable

The parking space for non-handicap was limited. Also - in room 103, I tried to turn my light out and got shocked a few times and had to end up turning it off with a book. I used my book to turn the switch so I didn't get shocked again
