Our bathroom didn’t have a fan so after showering our room got all steamy and in the morning there wasn’t much out for breakfast. We had to go out and get food due to not getting much available at the hotel. Not happy about that.

The room had a used bar of soap left in the shower, makeup stains on the washcloths, peanuts scattered around on the floor and beef sticks left in the freezer. We could also hear every car in the parking lot and on the road.

There was not an elevator. I don’t understand why there wasn't an ice machine on all the floors. Room could use some touch up paint and more detailed dusting aka cleaning. There was blood or dark ketchup on the wall. We didn’t touch it.
Wasn’t sure what this was.

The first room we got had broken glass and hair on the bathroom floor and what looked like pee on the wall by the front door. We reported it to the staff and she said that's what you get when your fine taking a smoking room. The second room non-smoking had a dirty bathroom but better then the last
