When I walked up to the counter and found your employee sleeping and the only way I got her attention was to call the house phone.

Heater wasn’t working and neither were the jets on the hot tub. There were two small black bugs that were alive on the top sheet when I pulled the comforter off of the bed. Only stayed for two hours and decided to leave. Talked to an employee that evening about the things not working in the room and she said she’d note the account to have the manager refund the stay the next morning. Never got a refund cause the manager claimed to hotels.com staff through whom I booked the room that I never said anything to the staff about my issues with the cruddy room.
