Adequate Stay
late snackshop cozy room polite staff glitching tv noisy room fridge absence
The lobby snack shop stayed open late. This helped when I arrived after my flight delay. I was able to buy a bag of chips. My room felt cozy and easy to settle into. Housekeeping staff were polite.
The networked TV glitched a lot, it was hard to watch shows. There was some noise in my room. I did not have a fridge to keep my drinks cold.
