The floors under the beds need to vaccumed this is the second time in 6 months that I have said the same thing. Different rooms and still the same issues we had pistachios nut shells all under on of the beds and rubish. The parking is terrible not designated and watched two cars for one room which then meant we couldn’t even park for our room. General repairs you can’t use the exhaust fan in the bath room which also controls the main light as it screams and makes a terrible noise.
