Requested adjoining rooms, but the assigned rooms were not. The only adjoining room was a double and a handicapped accessible room which I accepted. The handicapped accessible room had water leaking from the room above through the light fixture onto the sink and the sink was sluggish. Personal items were in a puddle of water. Maintenance snaked the sink, but never fixed the leaking during my stay.
