The room was absolutely filthy. I had to scrub the tub before I could use it (yes, I carry cleaning supplies with me because this has been an issue with other hotels in the past). Found huge hairballs in the “clean” bed sheets. Corners of room haven’t been dusted or cleaned. Mirror was wiped with no integrity.
The fire alarms went off in middle of the night, also, which woke up both of my kids and completely threw off their sleep.
The hotel staff was nice, but unfortunately doesn’t make up for how much money I felt like was wasted on this experience.
