Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

difficult parkingmissing phone
My stay presented several issues. The parking situation was quite difficult. There was double parking everywhere, and it proved challenging to maneuver my car. The room lacked a phone, and there was only one bottle of water provided for two guests. These details detracted from the overall experience.
