Unpleasant stay

Unfortunately this wasn’t a good stay. Greeting wasn’t as pleasant to be honest. She asked if I had a PE and I said yes so she said there will be a fee, but never asked me if I had a service dog or not. Which I do. The bathtub was dirty on the side of the tub, there were lots of dust bunnies and the counters weren’t as clean. There was a blackout and our entire stay was in the dark. There was no breakfast available, we rented a movie in our streaming devices that we couldn’t finish watching, couldn't charge our phones, it was really hot and stuffy in our room, our food in the refrigerator spoiled, so needless to say this special occasion turned out to be an awful experience.

The hotel was good. The front desk person kept insisting we had only paid for 2 of our 3 rooms upfront even after presenting them with receipts. So that was a little frustrating. Other than that, the location is very convenient.
