Shower leaked water all over the floor. Our room wasn't clean. Ice machine on multiple floors did not work. Only three outlets in the entire room worked. I asked them to fix it and they said they would send someone. Nobody came in the four day stay. Our view was a back alley with apartment windows so we couldn't open the blinds ever. For the cost of our stay I expect something worthy of such cost. Very disappointed.
