inconsistent water temperature unreplenished minibar
I found several issues . The shower had very inconsistent water temperature. It fluctuated between hot and cold without warning. The minibar was not replenished daily, and I had to call several times to get it restocked. This was quite annoying as I wanted a cold drink after a long day of sightseeing.
