The room next to us was loud all night on Saturday night til 3 am. The toilet would not stop running we had to manually fix it every time. And when I opened the closet the air filter was coated in dust and had not been changed in a long time. I am on oxygen with breathing problems and it was not good for me at all. There were a few beetles crawling around and we squished. Staff said they checked us out when we left but they did not.
