Could've been a great stay

When we got into our room it was 80 degrees. Despite turning on the fan, it kept blowing hot air. We told the front desk, got a fan and said the engineer would come to look at it. So, we opened the window as a solution.

When I checked in the room was dirty. It had someone else’s nachos on the desk and the soaps had been opened and used and a towel was used by the sink. I let the front desk know but they didn’t really care.

The toilet lid/seat was only attached by one bolt and slid off when in use. Trim on base of bathroom door was loose and fell off causing me to trip. Thermostat was nonfunctional so room was too hot unless windows kept open. Otherwise room was very nice and in good location.
