Got maintenance?

Room was very comfortable and clean. The room we reserved was only available on the 3rd floor. Not a problem unless both elevators are out of service. Since my wife and I are in our 60's, I asked if he was going to carry our bags up the stairs. Hard to believe, but he found us a room on the 2nd floor. Ice maker on 2nd floor, men's room urinal in lobby, was out of service and pool was closed. Room and breakfast met our expectations.
