drainage problemlimited parking
The room i was initially assigned had a noticeable drainage problem. An unpleasant odor permeated the space. i requested and received a room change, though this inconvenience was disappointing. additionally, the limited parking made securing a spot near the hotel a challenge. It often necessitated relocating the car to avoid penalties.
