While I understand it was a busy week for the hotel, I was disappointed that my room wasn't ready until nearly 8:00 PM. Additionally, there were significant maintenance issues: the toilet water supply was non-functional, and the shower pan was incorrectly curved, causing water to pool rather than drain properly.
