Mixed Feelings About This Hotel

inconvenient bathroomhard-to-use dispensers

The bathroom definitely needs updating. It was small and somewhat inconvenient. The shower setup lacked a proper showerhead. There was only a fixed head on the wall, hard to use. I found the dispensers for soap and shampoo difficult to operate, a little frustrating.
