Hotel had bugs. Killed three spiders in a few hours. The room door slammed so hard that it shakes the wall. definitely a safety issue. It hit my son on the shoulders. The room only had three towels for a 4 person stay room booking. When asked for an additional towel the housekeeping definitely made sure we understood her attitude. Told my concerns to front desk and nothing was addressed or noted.
