broken tv shabby furniture
I was excited about my stay. the initial impression was promising, but small issues did accumulate. the tv in my junior suite did not work. Staff informed me cable work was the cause, but no fix was offered. a stained chair covered with a throw seemed like a poorly disguised attempt to mask neglect. The furniture generally felt shabby.
