adequate stay, some disappointments

adequate furnishinglong wait timesmissing amenities

the room was adequately furnished.

the experience wasn't great. the front desk seemed understaffed (it was understaffed) and the wait times were far too long, especially during peak hours. the room i reserved, a standard double room, felt smaller than advertised and lacked expected amenities.
