Not going back to this hotel!

Had to reset AC unit, reset television. Internet was terrible tv cut out so many times couldn’t watch anything on Netflix or any other apps needed only into to watch anything! Parking was terrible only a few accessible spots. No elevators. Went to use coffee pot and it tasted like vinegar almost threw up! Beds were very small for room size. Could fit al least queen beds in room not sure why they were so small. Very outdated curtains and carpet paint everything needs updated! Pool was very dirty a lot of grass in pool.
