dark room squeaky tap
The staff were nice enough I suppose the rooftop bar existed so that was something.
The room was a bit of a joke it was so dark I seemed like I was in a cave the wallpaper didn't help matters. I could barely read at night and that squeaky cold tap ran out of water quickly. I swear they designed the towel hook for giants I could hardly reach it at 5'10'.
