Acceptable Stay with a Couple of Issues
small roommissing fridge
The size of the room was smaller than expected. I had to ask for the room to be cleaned . There was no mini-fridge in the room, so keeping any drinks cool was impossible. I found this inconvenient, as I like to have cold water on hand. I hope there are improvements to these aspects.
