4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was small only barely any room to move about, struggled to get in to the hotel as it took me several attempts to put the pin in as it wouldn’t register the pin. The bed had an indent in it when you lay down as if the mattress was broke, bed was also rock solid. This morning the shower wasn’t working the water wasn’t running it was sprinkling water then stopping was running cold.
