mediocre stay with a notable mishap

overall cleanlinessfaulty television

the hotel was recently opened, so the overall cleanliness was acceptable.

The television didn't work when i checked in and it took multiple attempts and a long wait for someone to finally fix it. This was frustrating, especially during the olympics.

adequate stay, some issues noted

bathroom draincramped room

My stay had some hiccups. the bathroom drain was slow, water splashed easily from the shallow sinks, soaking my shirt when i washed my face. i had to call a few times to get basic shower supplies like towels and shampoo. the room felt a bit cramped for the price i paid. It wasn't the relaxing experience i was hoping for.
