The hotel owner turned off the power source to our air conditioning unit when it was 90°F outside. Refused to turn the power to it back on and would not place us in a different room. There were no fans offered and no opening windows. The hotel left it like this for four days until we could make other accommodations. My young son ended up in the emergency room from heat exposure due to the hotel's neglect to us, their guests.

Room was a nightmare!!

Bed and sheets were uncomfortable. The floor in the room was wet and dirty. I had to lay down a towel by the bed because there was puddle. The TV didn’t work. The people in the room next to me were up late listening to loud music
