Elevator in casino did not work and down escalator was moving faster than normal. I have vertigo and walk with a cane. I could not use the escalator to get down and out of the casino. I was forced to use the stairs. Due to current health conditions with my knees this was not a good situation! Then, in the hotel, only one of the 2 elevators was working. I would hate to be in that place and have to evacuate. No doubt plenty of building code violations.

There was a hairball in the shower. An elevator wasn't working--so only 1 elevator to use. they had a medical issue on one floor necessitating the EMTS to use and hold the elevator for much time--it meant the entire elevator system was totally useless. Pool was not functional

Hotel needs to be updated. Need Plugs at beds. Better lighting. Bathrooms need to be redone. Chips in tub with rust coming through. Families should be housed in separate area so business people can get sleep.

Pool was closed for maintenance, room service was ordered and had to be picked up could not be delivered, food was just ok-pretty bland. Room was clean but would occasionally get a sewer smell. Overall disappointed from previous stays
