There was pubic hairs in the bathroom in the bathtub on the floor mat under the pillowcase in the sheet. there TV would not shut off. The towel was dirty did not look white. After paying Hotels.com at the hotel, they had me give them an additional hundred dollars on my security When it was time to check out 815 in the morning, there was nobody to help me. They wouldn’t be back until 845 and it wasn’t there a problem for me to check out.
