Decent Location, Some Disappointments

empty dispenserslow response
The room seemed a bit worn. I found the shower wash dispenser empty when I wanted to use it. This remained unaddressed . I eventually asked for fresh towels instead of full service, that gave the feeling of a compromise I did not want to make. The hotel's response felt slow.
