Acceptable stay with some notable issues

lift malfunction uncomfortable experience

The location was convenient (close to many attractions).

The lift malfunctioned . I had to force the doors open, and this triggered a panic attack. I felt uncomfortable, so i decided to check out immediately and return home. It was a really unfortunate experience.
