inconvenient access systemuncomfortable beds
My experience had some disappointments. The system for accessing floors seemed designed more for staff convenience than guest ease. I could only access my floor or the reception area with my card. The beds were not comfortable and neither were the pillows. These issues detracted from what could have been a more restful stay, though the location was perfect!

toilet seatused jam
the room i booked was supposed to have a nice view, but i ended up looking at the roof (this was pretty disappointing). the cleanliness was also questionable, i noticed stains on the toilet seat. i even received a used jam jar with my room service order, that wasn't very pleasant.
