Disliked: Cleanliness

Just a few issues.

Stained sheets. Burnt, unusable iron. Vending machine out of order. No limes for $5 Coronas. Complimentary breakfast not good because they use a pancake roll out machine and tater tots as hash browns. Only one dude on graveyard shift spoke understandable English. Slow elevator like could break at any moment. Refrigerator set at freeze temperature and can't adjust. Other than that it was okay. At least the AC worked well.
