hit or miss, really

dim lighting unchanged towels
the breakfast food had both excellent choice and quality, i suppose.
The room i was in was a bit of a letdown, really. it was mostly dark blue paint, and the lighting was so dim i could barely read even with all the lights turned on. they also didn't bother to change my towels during my four-night stay. I expect clean towels at least every other day, you know?
