ceiling fan rude comment
breakfast was alright, i guess one could order additional food.
This stay i found the room needing some serious attention. the old ceiling fan barely worked, humidity was a problem too and made it uncomfortable. i needed towel changes, and beddings changed too, yet none happened . then, there was an unfriendly lady at reception when i left. She made a comment about me being late, it was quite rude.
