Mixed Feelings About The Stay
uncomfortable bed impersonal service
The room was clean. I also appreciated the availability of extra tea and coffee.
I booked a room based on the description of a king-size bed. The bed was actually two single beds pushed together, it created an uncomfortable ridge down the middle. No one introduced themselves . It felt impersonal.
