Yes. The heat and hot water took forever to come on. As the night went on, the room became an inferno! Also, the door jam has been racked so many times, you could close it and see the parking lot around and under it.

The room was dirty, dried blood on the curtains, no ice machine, no cups, or anything in the room. Had to repeatedly ring both door bells to get someone to give me a roll of toilet paper( they were asleep in the office area) stated it was an Ocean view, definitely was not that at all. Had to kill 2 cockroaches. Definitely would not stay there again if i have a choice
