mixed experience at the hotel
room cleaning minor inconvenience
I found a couple of things less than ideal. the lack of attention to detail in room cleaning was noticeable. The bathroom wasn't properly wiped down . also, the cups i used weren't replaced, a minor inconvenience. it gave an impression of corner-cutting on basic services.
