urine smell cheap shower curtain
The bathroom smelled a bit odd , and it seemed like it needed another cleaning. Also , the shower curtain felt cheap , like something from a budget motel. I also noticed some carpet sections were sticking up near the elevators , and honestly , it was a tripping hazard. The front desk couldn't help with the Apple TV code , which was inconvenient , and the Wi-Fi kept cutting out.
