Pros:

Came back from a wedding and there was a smashed front door where we needed to walk through to our room. Room was dirty and the staff members we dealt with didn’t care when we told him about our experience. Smashed glass everywhere and very dangerous. For what we paid that weekend to stay, it was very disappointing.
