low water pressureinconvenient parking
the shower was disappointing. there was barely any water pressure. the temperature fluctuated constantly. i found this completely unacceptable for the price i paid. also, the lack of parking was a huge inconvenience. i had to use a public parking garage nearby which was expensive and not ideal with luggage.

dismissive demeanorstreet noise
the greeting by staff lacked warmth. i found myself questioning if i had offended them immediately because their demeanor looked dismissive. instructions were delivered rapidly and i felt my inquiries were met with annoyance. noise from the street disrupted sleep. even at 3 a.m., drunken shouts reverberated through the hallway and streets. the absence of assistance at reception during my early departure compounded my frustration. i called to check out, but the person sounded unhappy at being disturbed and promptly ended the call when he learned i needed help with checkout. the staff never replied to the follow-up message. this is really bad service.
