Acceptable stay, but some downsides

clean accommodation good room size friendly staff noise problem broken toilet slippery shower

The room was very clean. The room was a good size! I really liked the extra facilities, especially the dinner service after a long day! Staff was super friendly. They could accommodate luggage storage after I checked out. Check-out was super easy.

The noise was really bad! It was possibly from the pipes in the bathroom walls. It was like someone was turning a tap on and off constantly! I ended up falling asleep after 2 AM with noise-canceling headphones. It was the worst sleep I have had in a hotel in years. The toilet did not flush. The shower was so slippery, I actually fell!
