Acceptable but Dated Stay

free shuttlecracked hosedated 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.

just ok, some issues

large roomvisitor policylack of understanding
the room was large enough.
I booked a room to celebrate my friend's birthday party, and i was told visitors couldn't come up to my room. they said i had to book another room for them if they wanted to visit. This made me spend more money. i was so disappointed because i work in hospitality and never heard about this. even in the morning when i checked out, they didn't listen to my explanation, and i will never come back.
