Decent stay with service issues

broken glass slow bill

Our meal service was quite disappointing. There was broken glass present on our table upon arrival. The staff repeatedly missed items from our order. I asked for a specific beverage, but received a substitute and then was told it was unavailable. It took a very long time to get the bill and there was an overcharge initially.

some issues

loud air conditioning hot air

i was a little disappointed with the room temperature. it was warm. an air conditioning unit was available, but it was excessively LOUD when operating. the duct at the back blew hot air back into the room, so it did not effectively cool the space. the room even became hotter when i turned the air con on.
