2. If it is rated as a 2 star or less I would have no problems with it, but not for 4 stars, can anyone show me where the stars are???? I had been using hotwire to book rooms for over 10 years now, never had a problem before until this one, I really got screwed for this, paying the price of 4 stars for a 2 star hotel maybe not even 2 star.

7. The lighting was horrible and I was unable to put on any makeup because of that, but also because the mirror over the very high sink (again a problem for me because of my height) was also very high and I could not see into it.
