Average Stay with Issues in Room
small room poor housekeeping
The room I booked was rather disappointing. It was advertised as a King Bedded Room, yet it felt smaller than expected. The housekeeping service also needs attention. Towels were not changed daily, and I had to request basics like toilet paper, which I find unacceptable.

The staff were helpful. They found a spare towel when I asked.
The room was cramped. Opening the suitcase became an elaborate dance. the breakfast buffet needed attention. Several items looked like they had been under the heat lamp since Tuesday.

My stay had some significant issues. The banging and rushing water noises disrupted my sleep the first night. Staff suggested turning off the heating, made the room cold. Despite reporting the problem, it was not resolved until the following day. It was disappointing.
