We were assigned a room with a ceiling so low, my 6 ft husband couldn't stand up straight and there was a beam which made the ceiling even lower that he definitely would have hit his head on. We asked to be moved. Fortunately there was a room available. We spoke to the manager about it and she said that she heard that there was a really tall man assigned to that room. Really tall, really? Also,we were charged a surcharge for staying one night with no rstionallem

they advertise laundry facilities, but when asked for them, i was not able to use. was told the manager said no one could do laundry, they only can do their sheets and towels, because machines are old. thats not my problem, get new ones. the rooms had no fans or ac, it was hot in room. they had mostly workers, and took up most of the kitchen during busy times. guest should have preferably first at cooking. there were ants on the stove and always in the microwave. not a place i would stay again.
