inconsistent hot waterlimited room service
I was pretty disappointed, especially about the shower. i had trouble getting hot water . the staff mentioned waiting, but it never really heated up. also, the room service wasn't quite what i expected. We had to replace the towels ourselves, and that felt a little inconvenient. i hoped for a bit more attentiveness .
