Stayed 2 nights

Air conditioning was good safe parking room was clean but there was a plumbing failure at 7:00am Sunday and management gave me armful of towels and I mopped up all the leaked water all over the floor. Had to check out early cause the toilet broke and didn’t receive any compensation. Management told me they didn’t any rooms to move to
