First room assigned was not cleaned or prepped to be occupied, 2nd contained illicit drug residue, I was assigned a second room that was furnished with queen beds and not the single king size bed that I’d reserved , I checked out a day earlier than planned because of these issues and my expenses were not duly compensated or discounted…
