dated roomslow check-in
My stay had a few issues. The room felt quite dated. I noticed the bathroom was very small , and it lacked space to move around comfortably. Also , the check-in process was slow , and there seemed to be insufficient staff to handle the number of guests arriving , which led to a longer wait than expected.
