adequate but with some issues
dusty areassagging bed
The room was not as clean as i expected. I found dust in several areas. the television remote did not work, and i had to request assistance to get it functioning. this was an inconvenience and took away from relaxation time, though the staff did resolve it eventually. the bed also had a noticeable sag in the middle, it affected the quality of my sleep.
