TV did not work. Had to go down to front desk to get a new remote & then move the heavy tv stand to unplug, and plug Tv back in. Noise all night that staff did not control. Cold shower. Coffee and no coffee cups. For $75 a night I did not expect a stay at the Taj Mahal, but we did expect to get to sleep & take a warm shower. Manager/owner was very rude and not accommodating. Definitely had some language barriers when I tried to explain our situation.

The shower had poor water pressure and the toiletries were not labeled. You couldn't tell what was shampoo, conditioner or body wash. The soap dispenser was too far away from the sink.
