Acceptable but Dated Stay
cracked hose dated room
The free shuttle to the mall was a nice addition.
I received a free upgrade to a beautiful room, but it wasn't anything special. The room seemed dated, especially the shower (a major disappointment). The shower hose had a crack and I scratched myself on it.
