Room was dirty, our sheets were stained so we asked them to change them which resulted in them not cleaning our room for 2 days. We understand you get what you paid for but as we were going to be out all day all we expected were clean sheets and a clean room and didn’t even receive that.

It’s right next to a homeless encampment. The window has no screens so it felt unsafe to open the window. The towels were dirty and the shower was so out of date and falling apart.
