spacious room smart tv free water indifferent staff unhelpful concierge missing invoice

The room was very spacious. The smart TV was huge. It was great to relax and watch movies in the evening. I also appreciated the free bottled water that was provided daily.

The staff mostly seemed indifferent. I found this disappointing. I felt the concierge was not very helpful. I was promised an invoice by email after checking out, but I still have not received it.
