excessively hot towel railunavailable cocktails
The room was adequately furnished. the towel rail in the bathroom became excessively hot. It positioned directly adjacent to the shower. Consequently, I suffered minor burns upon exiting. The bar's early closure at 23:00 proved inconvenient. I was further disappointed that cocktails were unavailable at the last call. It did detract from the evening's potential.
