Do better!

This used to be a nice place. It has really gone down hill and is in dire need of a total renovation. You have to request the room to be cleaned daily, and even if you do, they do t show up until 4:00 on or don’t even come! We had to call down to just get toilet paper!!! The hallways are filthy!!
