Acceptable Room, Deficient Service

clean roomrecently decoratedpoor communicationunapproachable staff

The room was recently decorated and clean, which met my expectations for basic upkeep.

I found the breakfast staff unapproachable. It affected my dining experience. The communication to resolve a billing issue was notably deficient. It required numerous phone calls to reach someone who addressed the problem without prioritizing customer satisfaction.
