Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark
The room showed some wear and tear. Door screen was torn; one light next to the bed had no light switch as it was broken. The unit door would not shut unless I forced it. It is a property that I am sure experiences family use, so took that under consideration.

Days Inn by Wyndham Dubuque
The first room reeked of cigarettes and pot, TV didn’t work, phone to call front desk didn’t work. Second room reeked of cigarettes and pot. The area around the doors to room littered with cigarette butts. We won’t be staying there again.
