faulty ac unitbroken shower head
My stay started off poorly with a room change. The first room assigned had a faulty air conditioning unit. It made a loud rattling noise all night, disturbing my sleep. I requested a different room the next morning. While the staff did accommodate this, the replacement room had a broken shower head which sprayed water all over the bathroom. This was quite annoying.
