Neat older hotel near the water. The breaker in the bathroom kept throwing when we plugged a hair dryer in. The same with our friend’s room. The first time it was handled quickly. The day we were to leave and go to the airport, it was not rectified and we didn’t have any way to use the bathroom. Had to get ready in the dark, because the sun wasn’t up yet, and didn’t have a way to dry our hair. Front office staff tried but didn’t seem concerned that they couldn’t help. Very frustrating.
