tired hotel, acceptable bed
dirty carpets lack of fresh air
The carpets were dirty and smelled bad. It seemed like there was a lack of fresh air. plus, i think it was too expensive considering the poor standards. and did i mention the noises from outside the window? ugh.

a satisfactory stay
clean room equipped room swimming pool bath water compensation absence missed breakfast
the room was very clean (i appreciate that). it was well-equipped with amenities. the gym, sauna, and swimming pool were very nice.
i tried on several occasions to contact the place. it was because of an issue we had when trying to run a bath. the water was brown. i also missed breakfast because of the issue, and was not offered anything to compensate.
