They're not meant to be five-star accommodations, but Olympic athletes expect their rooms to at least be clean, comfortable and ready.
But that's not what Olympians are finding as they check into Olympic Village.
Andrew Bogut, who is in Rio for the games, playing for the Australian basketball team, has been featuring the IOC and Olympic Village on his Twitter feed using the hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodging.
At least one team isn't staying in the village. Members have shipped in accommodations.
Both the men's and women's basketball teams from the USA are staying on a cruise ship that is docked at a nearby pier.
They will be living on the "Silver Cloud," WDIV reported. The ship has accommodations for up to 300 passengers and luxuries like a pool, a hot tub, suites with extra-long beds, a spa, a library and a casino.
The team leaders were afraid that members would be inundated with photo and autograph requests, WDIV reported.
Members of the teams include Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, DeAndre Jordan, Brittney Griner and Tamika Catchings.
