Great stay with full service breakfast

We arrived first for dinner. A friend told me there was still a Bennigans restaurant in the area as my husband and I first met at one in Virginia almost 25 years ago and this was the first visit to one since 2008. The food and service is the same. We then checked in at the front desk and they gave me our keys and breakfast tickets as we prepaid. We got into our room and couldn’t figure out how to close the blinds as there was no pull chain. Maintenance came and we were surprised that there is a remote control on the wall to the left of the window! This would be something I think should be told to us at check in. We had to call maintenance again because our room had no tv remote and when they brought us one it didn’t work because the battery compartment was corroded. After all that and finally getting a great night sleep we notice the shower had a large crack and the shower head wouldn’t stay upright. It’s a handheld shower head so it kept falling down. Breakfast was amazing and there was so many options like bacon, sausage, potatoes, breads, muffins, cereal, French toast, coffees, teas and juices.
Remote control blinds, this is something they don’t mention at check in
Blinds are by remote control on the wall
Giant crack in the shower and shower handle kept falling down
