also, the instructions for finding the place was like a treasure hunt. I am not sure it needed to be that hard to find. finally, the tv remote did not work. I suspect batteries were missing.

adequate stay with cleanliness issues

dust accumulation impersonal payment

The bathroom had some cleanliness issues. i noticed dust accumulation on the radiator, not ideal. also, the payment process felt impersonal. I wished to view the room before payment but was instead presented with the card machine immediately. the experience lacked a cute touch.
