I understand the hotel is under renovation, but there was something all over the floor so it looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed. We were staying the night before a cruise and planned on taking the hotel shuttle but no one informed us we had to book it at check in. This caused us to have to get a ride elsewhere and all of the taxis and ride shares were also booked.
