average stay with issues

water temperaturepoor tea

The shower's water temperature was inconsistent. It swung wildly between scalding hot and freezing cold. this. furthermore, the tea selection in the room was disappointing (it was like a cost-cutting measure). offering only chamomile and low-quality black tea didn't cut it. i ended up buying my own tea bags just to have something decent to drink.
