The original booked room did not have a window. I had to upgrade and pay out-of-pocket. No hot water in the shower or pressure, AC didn’t work, TV connection didn’t work. The room was not clean. There was no safe in the room. Beach towels were not given easily for some reason.

NO NO NO. This place has no ability to lock its front door. Young women working alone had no one to call when even she could not access our room w the weird key. 215-3-am. Then put us in another room that didn’t lock. She had no back up. We could have easily been trapped inside. Said there was no one to call and no options. Luckily I had a man with me who barricaded the door with our bags. So unsafe. The second room they put us in after having to have no place to go for 3 hours while they got us a room flooded when I took a short shower.
