Acceptable stay, but some issues

unclear instruction lack mini-bar
The hotel location worked well for my travel needs.
I experienced issues with the elevator system, I did not like how it works. Reaching the ground floor requires entering '0', this wasn't clear. my room lacked a mini-bar, which I thought was a standard.
