8. The new rooms smelled, the toilets ran, the television did not work, the front desk was unreachable many nights, they have a notice in the bathroom asking you to reuse your towels, we had to leave a notice on the door or else they would not change the linens and the rooms were not vacuumed once in the 6 days we stayed there.
