Wasn’t told that the hotel was under renovation. Hot tub was not available, pool was not heated as it advertised, there was no staff only one person available, breakfast was not served at 6:30a, only one ice machine worked, wasn’t enough wash towels for room, had to wait for housekeeping to come in next day, room was nice but couldn’t sleep. The other guest had complained about the staff not being available because it was only one person working to accommodate others.
