The room i had felt far from a true five-star experience. the faucet in the bathroom was frustrating. Its awkward positioning near the edge of the basin made washing my hands clumsy and uncomfortable. the air conditioning worked, but the unit was noisy. i really struggled to sleep with it on high, but the room became too warm if i lowered the fan.
