difficult showerartificial juice
the shower was difficult to use the water sprayed everywhere because there was no proper enclosure. this made the entire bathroom floor wet and slippery it was dangerous and impractical. also the breakfast bag was quite underwhelming the croissant was stale and the juice tasted artificial. i expected a hot breakfast considering the price of the stay.
