Pretty disgusting.

Water didn’t work. They knew it was not working and didn’t mention it at check in. Then when I inquired they said it was the Alamo’s fault. After a long day of travel and business meetings that evening I couldn’t take a shower. Or flush the toilet. Until about 8 pm. Water that came out was disgusting. Cockroaches. Complete rip off but not many options for final four weekend.
