All was good until the light in the bathroom started POURING water in the middle of the night and FLOODED our bathroom/entry way. We didn’t know anything was going on. About 7am someone tried to open our door and said Maintenance. They didn’t knock or even come back. Thank gosh I had the lock on the door locked so it stopped them from coming in. My husband and I sleep nude. I would have been so embarrassed/mortified had they entered the room. When I awoke and walked to the desk to let them know it happened he did apologize and stated the reasoning but did not offer any compensation or anything for the inconvenience!!
