There was a dirty nasty soiled towel behind door of the bathroom. I had to go to the desk and get a light bulb to change the light on my nightstand. The pillowcases were stained with what, I don't know. We had to use needle nose pliers to pull knob up for shower head. At breakfast I took a big drink of milk only for it to be spoiled, and the eggs were not eggs.

Every thing was good except the breakfast. Everything was either gone or cold. The attendant was an absent and when we rang the bell it took a while before he came. He did replace it when he came.
