Susan

Travelled with family
Disliked: Amenities
There was no airflow in the room even though the fan was on. It was very stuffy. My room key stopped working before check out time. Also the Internet stopped working. The desk clerk was not helpful at all. Regarding the Internet, she said I should call technical support. I was getting ready to leave. I did not have the time nor the desire to troubleshoot the hotel's computer system.
