a stay with some issues

inadequate soundproofing shower design
i found a few things less than satisfactory. the shower lacked a proper curtain or door , resulting in water spreading across the bathroom floor after each use. this poor design combined with drainage issues made the bathroom quite inconvenient. furthermore , the soundproofing was inadequate , and noise from adjacent areas disrupted my sleep on several occasions.

cable cart walking distance leftover food used soap
The location was close to the cable cart, allowing access to the town i wanted. Beaches were within walking distance too.
I found the room wasn't so hot, it was dirtier than i expected. There was even leftover food in the fridge. used soap in the shower, it was gross. I told them about it, but nothing changed, quite a joke!
