We had to change rooms: Light didn't work, Bathroom was dirty, room phone didn't work. The decor and condition looked very worn and needed a complete refurbishment. There was only a minimal place to eat that did not provide lunch and didn't open until 4:00PM. We arrived early from our flight and asked about our room and we were told it was not ready. I asked to be put on a list for early access and was told they would try, two hours later I went to the desk and asked about our room and was told "Oh sorry, yes it's ready and that been the saga of having to change rooms etc.

I was not given 2 key cards upon check-in. This caused an issue when I left the room to return the luggage cart because it was necessary to use a key card in order to access the elevator back to my room. The associate at check-in was distractible and not very attentive to my Q's. No coffee maker of any kind in the room?? Even a Motel 6 includes this amenity. Only an electric tea kettle. How many guests start their day with tea vs. coffee. It felt asvthough this was a way to force coffee consuming guests to go tothe lobby and pay $5 or $6 for a single cup of Joe. In some circles, this woukd be considered a " racket".
