1. The desk person/manager (?) at checkin never looked at us while speaking, the jacuzzi tub was broken (we had not booked that room type anyway), and the bugs under the vanity stayed there as I never opened the cabinet after the first time.

7. She replied that she knew it to be broken, that the repair man could only get the red light on, and that 'they (Jacuzzis) are a pain in the butt' and 'we are taking them all out'; My husband and I have mobility issues and find a jacuzzi is necessary for health reasons.
