underwhelming stay , despite initial impressions

fluctuating showerpoor soundproofing
the room felt a little tired , especially the bathroom. the shower temperature fluctuated , going from hot to cold without warning , it was quite annoying. also , the soundproofing wasn't great , i could hear noise from the hallway and nearby rooms , it disrupted my sleep. i hoped for better considering the price.

The room was small. The furniture was worn. The staff provided perfunctory service. The restaurant service was disjointed and slow. My pork chop was 75% solid fat, I should have returned it.

a bit underwhelming, honestly.

slow servicedated furniture
The room i got, supposedly a 'double room', felt cramped. the furniture seemed old. also, the service in the restaurant was quite slow. It reminded me of the staff wasn't really paying attention? i mean, the prices were high for the overall experience, so i expected better service and maybe less... dated furniture.
