3. Opened the minibar/fridge to get a bottle of water and the smell of mold was overwhelming and was so rotten that obviously no one has cared for them in a long time.

5. (bumbling disorganized kids milling about talking/texting and failing to respond to new arrival; leaving the driver's door wide open into traffic with car running was dumbfounding) Why 60 degree hallways and rooms? (to keep the mold from growing?)Terrible waitstaff in breakfast.
