satisfactory accommodation

vegan alternativesplant-based milkdisruptive noises
the breakfast offered a wide variety of options. the staff readily addressed my request for vegan alternatives and eco-friendly salt and pepper mills. i was happy to see plant-based milk available at one of the coffee stations.
the air conditioner emitted loud, disruptive noises when turned off. i eventually managed to stop the noises, but this resulted in an uncomfortably cold room. i ordered sweet potato fries through room service and they arrived cold.

underwhelming experience

helpful stafftv system difficultyqr code
The staff were friendly and helpful. That was acceptable.
i found that the tv system made ordering in-room dining difficult, with no qr code appearing on the screen.. i was asked to go downstairs to get a menu, defeating the purpose of in-room dining.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Disappointments

loud noisescold fries
The air conditioning made strange, loud noises when turned off. This kept me awake. I eventually found a setting that stopped the noise, but the room became too cold! I also ordered sweet potato fries from room service, but they arrived cold. The restaurant staff insisted they were fresh, though they offered to reheat them. I waited an hour, but no one came to collect them, so I ended up going out to find something else to eat.
