Needs improvement

Came to stay to visit family for the 4th of july. Stayed in room 226, the bathtub didnt drain, no one cleaned our room the entire time we were there, had to ask for new towels and toilet paper, came back to the room only to find out it was still open because the door didnt latch correctly. Once you open from the inside, you have to remember to turn the handle again to get the latch unstuck so the door will then lock behind you.
