unclean roomindifferent staff
I was frustrated the room i booked wasn't properly cleaned. I found a used towel behind the door. the mini-bar was empty upon arrival, even after i confirmed it should have been stocked. the staff seemed indifferent when i mentioned these issues. No apologies or solutions were offered, the lack of attentiveness was annoying!
