the room i was initially given required navigating several sets of stairs despite my request for a room with no stairs this was inconvenient. the bar closed early at 11:00 pm and no snacks were available i had to leave the hotel to purchase some. i also noticed constant gushing water outside my window presumably from a leaky air conditioner above.
