minor issues
indifferent staffloose taps
The staff seemed a bit indifferent. Not rude, but not exactly cute either. the phone in my room was dead on arrival. i ended up using my mobile to contact reception (annoying, right?). also, the taps were loose. it's a shame, as i expected a bit more attention to detail.
