dust accumulationmissing remote
The room looked clean initially, but closer inspection revealed dust accumulation. The advertised bar area lacked a proper bartender. The ice machine was also out of order. This was inconvenient. The bathroom floor was cold. Heated floors would have improved my comfort. The television remote was missing. I had to call reception to get it.
