underwhelming stay

poor housekeeping dirty linen

the checkin and checkout processes were quick.

The minibar was not restocked daily, a letdown for a supposed five-star hotel. housekeeping was subpar as well. i had to request vacuuming and linen changes repeatedly. The dust was not removed and clothes were not well cleaned either.
