Busted water faucet water running all night into the morning , I called front desk and asked if we could move to another room.the young lady who answered my call did not know,because she said that she was in training but would try to notify her manager, After 12:30 am we were told we must move to another room. We got know sleep because of the in&out of the room by maintenance people we moved to the 3rd floor where construction was being done no sheets. Just was satisfying at all.
