Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was terrible. They gave me room 329 and I was promised to view and when I opened up the curtain the entire window was completely covered by a tree and I couldn't look out and see. Next, the bolts that hold the toilet down were broken and I almost fell over in the toilet and a whole toilet almost fell over. I was assigned another room and I found that there was no USB ports to charge my appliances. The door didn't shut by itself. They closed the pool on me and I was very disappointed.
