underwhelming stay

excessive serviceprivacy breach
however, the service felt excessive. during the meal, several staff members repeatedly approached our table asking the same questions. it felt intrusive rather than relaxing. a member of housekeeping unlocked and entered our room in the morning without knocking, while my partner was undressed, it was very distressing.
