Emerald Hotel
Was told had room on riverside. But was put on main road with trucks going all night. Asked for shower in unit and we got a spa bath was hard to climb into bath as hips problems. One staff member sent not a nice text when I had gone out of town for day demanding I pay by 2pm for the last night.
