I waited 10 minutes in the lobby for someone to check us in. We had to grab our own baggage cart and bring it up to the room and return it to the lobby. The sink in the tiny pantry didn’t drain, disgusting! The TV remote didn’t work! The bathroom door is a rolling barn door style that leaves no privacy for the user and the actual bathroom itself was tiny. It’s the price they charge you to stay there that makes the above unacceptable an AC hotel !!!
