3. I stayed for three nights on my own here - I had not pre booked and walked in, which I would only suggest if you hadn't already booked somewhere (they were actually pretty busy so I was lucky) - and upon arrival I was greeted by friendly young staff who may have been new but you can't really hold that against anyone - the only time you should be in a huge rush on holiday is when you're on the way to the airport.

6. 1) A big hole (fist sized) in wall from the room door handle hitting it filled with a paper cup 2) a leaky aluminum slider window that looked out onto a chair and community ashtry on the walkway which let cigarette smoke into our room, 3) a chair seat cusion with a big old stain on it (flip it over and there was a tear), 4) a built in vanity with a different sized (too small) drawer that looked like an afterthought of an afterthough, 5) a crank handle casement window in the bathroom that could not get the window closed, 6) a shower whose old fixtures had been taken out and replaced with new fixtures, but which left hole in the tile where the previous fixtures had been 7) an inoperative bathroom fan, 8) a toilet that barely flushed 9) a complimentary tray with coffee maker and coffees- with no place to plug the coffee maker in except on the floor, 10) a TV remote that couldn't change the channels, 11) and last but not least - dirty sheets.
