1. Our room door lock bolt was broken - door had multiple holes for the latch- indicating that somebody had tried to fix it before. After a couple of tries, the latch broke. 2. The hotel does not offer complimentary snacks with drinks. 3. Ordered a tea pot and English breakfast teabags since the teabags were missing in the collection period. I usually drink in which breakfast tea in the morning and even though I requested teapot and teabag to be delivered around 11 PM, the night before they were not. 4. Rooms felt smaller ! Good parts: Great gum and great location next to shopping center.
