3.0 star property

"It would have been a 10/10 if the hot tub was working and the pool was heated. Plus it’s diabolical that only one elevator worked throughout my 3 days and it had over 20 floors, so you might as well leave the room like 30mins early so you can get down in time. Don’t make a mistake of using the stairs because it is no re-entry. If you get on the stairs, you will have to walk all the way to the lobby yo make it out. So imagine getting on the stairs from the 21st floor"
