Stayed in 329. Arrived in dark- about 930 pm. In middle of night my feet were itching. Got up at 6 and took shower. Came out of and looked at my feet and there were multiple fleas on them. Packed up quickly and told reception staff and she didn’t apologize or give

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Need better trained and ways to stay up on their positions in serving food. The personal servicing breakfast were in panic and after two days just didn’t care and there were basic food shortages like no oatmeal, pancake machine out of batter. Fruit very poor, toasters broke. It reflects on upper management. I believe it will soon be let go of or sold to other hotel corporations. Even the electrical system in my room was poor. Couldn’t even charge up my cell phone when hooked up to a spit in my room. I think it’s in the midst of either breaking down or a slow upgrade to the complete system and operations. I’m just a customer with no true skills just my opinion.
