"Bathroom was disgusting. Bad fishy smell any time the shower or sink was used. Toilet would leak water at the base. The shower would leak all over the floor. The sink would leak from the handles.
The gym also didn’t have weights.
Our room key cards would stop working every single day, forcing us to reset them at the front desk."
"It was perfect, except make sure you don’t get a room on floor 4. There were people hanging out at the gym from 12am to 2am until we call front desk. They were being very loud, I also assume it’s the floor where staff also hangs out bc we could hear their radios. It was a very loud floor, I would stay again but request a different floor."
