Yes, the room felt neglected. I booked for 2 occupancy, and it was only one chair at the table. There was hairs in the tub, and in one of the beds. Also the tub looked very dirty. There was no clock, tissues, iron or ironing board. Also, the keys, didn't work, so maintenance had to come and let us in the room. Finally, there was a used c****m on the ground in the parking lot. This was the worst experience I've ever had.
