Mold in the shower. Originally placed in a accessible room, with water all over the floor and a ,mile from the front desk. We will never use expedia again. Every time we use expedia we get the worst rooms and always the last room on the floor

Initially no bathmat was provided. A large clump of hair from the last guest was on the bathroom floor. Extra cleaners were sent in but there were still foreign hairs on the wall inside the shower after they finished. No pen at the desk. Interior of the elevator is shabby. Floor is peeling. Asked at the front desk for directions to the park across the street. He gave directions to a different park!
