Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel
"Ants in the bathroom. I didn't raise this with front desk because we were only staying one more night and I also didn't want our room fumigated during our stay. Fridge sounded like a blizzard blowing in the middle of the night. Upkeep could definitely have been better."
