Acceptable Stay with Some Annoyances

good locationmissing bath gelpoor service

The location is near to shops and eateries, I admit.

I faced several service failures. The hotel had no bath gel for two days despite me asking for it. they did not replenish the tea or coffee, even after I requested it. That is quite poor.
