Inconvenienced by the convenience market

The only disappointment was that when we had an issue arise - I was the only adult with 3 teenage girls, was that when we needed an emergency feminine hygiene product, there were NONE in the hotel market, but there were THREE different types of condoms for men to choose from. I would think they would have had SOMETHING but we had to leave early so we could get to a store. Their convenience market was horribly inconvenient. Their buyer should be retrained. There was shelf space for sure!

Cold

The hotel room was cold. The heat works off of motion so it stays at 66 degrees not matter how high you raise it. The heat when it did turn on was really loud.

We had been flying all morning and stopped in at 11:45am to inquire if a room was open to check in early. The gentleman was not at the front desk but eating his lunch at a booth in the dining room. He made no effort to help us and only paid attention to eating his lunch and asked us to come back in 30 min. We asked him if he could check his computers for availability but he was not leaving his lunch to help us. So we had to drive back 5 hours later to try again to check in. The parking lots were not plowed the whole time we were there and it was extremely icy. The heat/air unit in the room made strange sounds all night long.
