The first room we ended up in had a ladybug infestation. All over the walls in the bathroom and bedroom area. The ventilation in the bathrooms for both rooms was very suspect. Carpet had a musty smell in the original room, second room they switched us to hadn’t been thoroughly vacuumed. Bathroom in both rooms had stains in the toilet, shower and sink. Ceiling tiles were all stained. Very disappointed with our stay after viewing “excellent” ratings online. Will not be back.
