Review Score:   4
Summary: Shower handle broke off, checked in late and wasn’t gonna switch rooms late at night, shower head sprayed water from the neck that connected to the shower head. Put a wash cloth so it wouldn’t spray everywhere. Told hostess and she apologized, didn’t expect much other than an apology. Definitely not staying again, a one night business trip
