mixed feelings about my stay

old towels lacking attention
The bathroom towels were definitely past their prime. They felt old. housekeeping also needed a serious upgrade. the rooms didn't feel particularly clean even after they supposedly tidied up. i overheard a waiter mentioning that tap water cost extra, which seemed ridiculous. paying almost five euros for tap water seemed like a joke.

spotty service empty toiletries
i'm not gonna lie, this stay felt a bit... underwhelming. the rooms service was spotty at best. sometimes they clean good, sometimes they dont bother much. they also never seemed to refill the toiletries properly, so we ran out of shampoo a few times. it's those little things that bring the place down, y'know?
