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.

I appreciated the welcome drink I received upon arrival. The staff members were friendly and cute. I found the location to be great. The decor and facilities in the room were appealing.
The window in my room was difficult to see out of. Scaffolding covered the window, and a layer of dirt blocked the light. I requested a room change or window cleaning, but my request was denied.
