Below Standards

It would have been nice to know the hotel is under renovation. We were given a room with the toilet wasn't working properly and loose on the base. I had to open the tank to flush. The tub was rusted and the shower didn't work right. The rug had an odor and sticky. I commend the staff for putting me in a better room but offended that I was put in that room in the first place.

Arrived at the hotel and they said their system was down and they had no idea how to fix it so we couldn't check in. We needed to be at a concert and couldn't wait for this to be fixed. Please refund me at the full expense.
