When checking in the front desk employee was rude. After getting to our room it had mold in the bathroom on the ceiling. We heard slamming doors all night.

I thought it would be hard to find. But, it pops up in front of you, on the road from the hotel to Monument Valley, and just makes you laugh when you see it.
