First room we went to, single bed was broken and smeared poo on outside of the toilet bowl. Second room had main bed was at a slant so husband found it very uncomfortable. Broken tile on the bathroom floor with sharp edge. Daughter hurt her foot. People in neighbour room locked their kids out of room and let them scream and play out in the hall until 11pm. Disturbing our daughter who was sleeping. Banging walls and being very disruptive.
