some disappointments

handy locationnever cleaned roomspoor hygiene

The hotel had a handy location for shops and transport. A well-equipped local food store was nearby.

The rooms were never cleaned . This was very poor. I expected a higher standard of cleanliness from a hotel of this supposed caliber. This lack of attention to basic hygiene was quite disappointing and affected my overall impression of the accommodation.
