Ac doesn’t work. No fan in bathroom. No front desk staff. Apparently this is the new norm? I’ve called down multiple times and no answer.

The property was clean, safe and comfortable. The room was very nice. The service was excellent, especially when we left our hanging clothes in the closet. Charles, an employee I spoke with over the phone, personally went to ship them to my home before I even paid him. He trusted that I would send him the payment after he spent his own money and time! Not many do that these days!
