I will never stay at this hotel again. Our FIRST room had a broken shower so we had to ask for a new room…our SECOND room was musty and smelled like mold. Is there any general maintenance happening? There was a ton of kids which isn’t normally an issue (I also have a kid) but it seems like they all had their own rooms and we were on the same floor as them as they banged and yelled down the halls. The halls were dirty with liqour bottle caps on the ground and just all around trashy. The only decent thing about this hotel was the staff.
