dim lightingrusty plug
The room lighting was quite dim. The breakfast service was a bit disorganized. The fresh fruit platter was scarce, and no one replenished it unless specifically asked for. Housekeeping only replaced coffee and water when requested. They did NOT service the room otherwise. The bathroom sink plug was rusty and DID NOT keep water in the basin.
