Pros:

I would have liked my stay but...

Cons:

Shower/tub faucets were difficult to turn on. I could not take a shower. I reported to the front desk. There was no immediate resolution. I was told I had to speak to the manager about proper resolution. But the front desk rep offered to give me a new room or extend checkout time while I was checking out. He then asked if he could show me that it works because the prior tenant had the same problem. Oh, so you are aware that the shower doesn't turn on as expected. Hmmm... He took me back to the room to show that the shower actually works. Although he had a hard time getting it to turn on too.

I expressed that it shouldn't be difficult for a person to turn on the water faucet to take a shower. It is an ongoing issue. The owners should get the nozzle replaced otherwise rental tenants won't be able to bathe or shower. "His final comment was it works." "My final comment was not without difficulty, frustration, and lack of service."

I requested either another room accommodation or refund since I did not receive all amenities with the room rental. Since I was already dressed for work. I did not have time to shower during checkout. An accommodation via partial refund or discount on another future room rental would have been a proper resolution. There was no real hospitality for the inconvenience.
