The room had an open electrical box uncovered with no wire nuts, there was no fire alarm in the room. When I told the person on duty he said there was. There was not, I am a general contractor and was very unpleased he tried to convince me otherwise. He became unpleasant and was very irritated. We cleared the room and went to a different hotel. Please refund the full amount I have pictures of the open electrical box and lack of a fire alarm where they are legally supposed to be. If the person would have apologized and been pleasant the situation would have been different.
