fluctuating shower pressureexpensive parking
The shower pressure fluctuated quite noticeably! I found this rather irritating. The absence of complimentary water in the room seemed a cheap omission. Also the noise from the hallway was too audible. Soundproofing needs improving. The location was perfect though the parking was expensive.
