Half the light bulbs were burnt out . Snow wasn’t shovellled off deck . Phone didn’t work . Chairs were very uncomfortable in room . Big equipment was parked sideways in the parking stalls so couldn’t park in stall in front of room . . Hallway was so hot you could hardly stand it . Restaurant closed . Tv terrible , hard to figure out and hardly any channels . Staff not very helpful . Pop machine empty and snack machine almost empty . Bed was fairly comfortable and heat worked good but won’t be staying there if improvements aren’t made .
