Afterthought bathroom?

The room itself was fine, plenty of space and clean, but the bathroom must’ve been an afterthought. Had to make sure you knew what you were going in for because there was no room to change your mind once in there. I’m thinking the one in our old camper was bigger. I actually hit my head on the doorknob while on the toilet, had to sit a little sideways so could get to the tp. There was a grab bar in the shower, kept hitting my right elbow on that. No space of any kind anywhere for toiletries except in the sink basin. No tissues so we used the spare roll of tp. To top it all off, all 3 packets of coffee were decaf…. We’ve stayed at this hotel many times and always had a good experience, but not this time…a bit of a bummer.

Room was very dirty. Couldn’t even take a shower. Outlets didn’t work. Heat was blasting all night and it was SOO hot all night. Maintenance came to “fix” the ac/heat problem and did nothing. Pool was so filthy as well. Rust/mold everywhere. Worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. I’m mind blown we paid almost $200 for a couple hours of sleep. We also didn’t get our Mayo Clinic discount. What can be done here?????
