Bad beds, bad bathroom set up

Beds are super stiff my back ached. Huge gap between sink and wall lost expensive product, called x2 to get help Was to call me back in 30min never did I waited from 8:50am-330pm no call back or communication to see if able to retrieve product from between wall and sink. Drove there after sons game before heading home on 8hr drive. I asked front desk to take off my bill as it was brand new and couldn’t do it To call manager tomorrow am hoping they will credit my bill. This is a them problem. There should even be a gap between wall and sink, other peoples stuff were also caught in there.
