underwhelming experience

limited menu street noise

i was disappointed by a few aspects of my stay. the minibar was not restocked daily. additionally, the room service menu was limited, especially for late-night options (i was hoping for more variety after a long day). the room also had some noise issues, especially from the street. i could hear traffic quite clearly throughout the night. it affected my ability to sleep comfortably.
