some issues

room sizeclogged shower drainuninterested receptionist
the room size was acceptable for the duration of my stay.
The shower drain was completely clogged. The water pooled around my feet. i informed the receptionist about this problem, but she didn't seem interested in helping. she said the drain was on a list to be fixed. I wonder why the room was assigned to me if other rooms were available. the dinner menu was expensive for the quality offered.
