Mixed Experience

comfortable bedspoor housekeepingdysfunctional ventilation
The beds were indeed comfortable (I slept quite well).
I encountered issues with housekeeping. The room was not cleaned properly. Used coffee cups were left unwashed, and there were paper scraps on the floor upon returning the second day. The bathroom ventilation did not work. the telephone was dysfunctional, I could not reach reception.
