disorganized stay with issues
poor shower unclear timings
the shower was quite poor.. housekeeping mentioned they had given up reporting it. breakfast timings were also unclear. the first morning, the door was locked at 9 am, and i learned breakfast was only from 7:30 to 8:30 am. i ended up just getting a sausage sandwich and didn't get a refund.
