Need updating

The hotel room was very clean and the bed was great. The rest was the problem. Shower so small hard to move in. The AC didn't work and the room was very warm.the window didn't have a screen and anyone could climb right in with little effort. They gave me a small desk fan, which worked with window being opened. Their idea of breakfast was coff, juice, bread, yogurt, and hard boiled egg. There was one egg left at 615am, breakfast started at 5am. The stairs and rug where scary climbing up and down when raining.
