1. Mold in the bathroom around the window, a broken cold water faucet in the shower, my husband kept hitting his head on the shower head (he is 5'10'' shower head 5')and when he turned the water off, well at least the hot water, he was blasted with a nice sray of cold since it kept going around and around as he tried to make it stop.

8. The room had tons of ants but ants I can deal with, construction behind the hotel starting at 6am went to take a shower in the dirty bathroom either freezing cold or scalding hot water no in between the best part was when we were packing up to leave we put our bags on the bed and found a cockroach so I went to the front desk to complain and the manager was arguing with me telling me it was not a cockroach it was a waterbug (i have pictures to prove that it is in fact a cockroach) and disregarded everything else i said but she did tell me i would be getting a discount on the room (only 20%).

9. On a side note one of my favorite things is trying to figure out all the different type of shower systems while travelling, however this one had the smallest possible threshold between scalding hot and freezing cold, making finding the optimal temperature a bit of an ordeal.

10. The shower was the hardest part of the experience as the water control system was super sensitive.
