Bathroom door wouldn't stay open. No waffle maker. Dust on the clock. Outside bathroom door dirty. Not a lot of breakfast choices. Staff started vacuuming in the room next door early. Electrical closet was right next to our room. Requested away from elevator but was next door. So many sirens early in the morning.
