Broken elevators and old TVs

Your elevators have been broken 2 years in a row. The one on the far end near the gym is falling apart and the floor indicator is totally wrong. Need more bartenders at the bar during peak times. The main tv in our suite does not turn on or work.

COLD SHOWERS BOTH MORNINGS!!!

I had a pretty terrible stay at the Sheraton. I've been staying hear on business for years, and this was my last time. Cold showers both mornings. Even after the renovation, things are already looking dingy. My shower dripped non-stop.
