came to check in at 11:30 and he told us to come back at 11 so 30 minutes prior? then changed it to “in thirty minutes” and 4 hours later we received confirmation it was ready. no sign to see where it is, no check in service, only working outlet is in the kitchen, paper thin walls, only slightly functional ceiling fans, staff doesn’t clean own dishes, doors barely open, bathroom doesn’t lock, saw staff never, don’t get your nails done it took an hour for her to not touch them w color
