underwhelming stay, sadly.

rude staff
the lack of communication from the staff was definitely a problem, especially since my requests weren't accommodated. the bar staff were also borderline rude, lacking any pleasantries. housekeeping parked their trolleys right outside my door and were quite noisy early in the morning.
