inconsistent housekeeping instant coffee
The staff was helpful arranging transport. This was acceptable.
The hotel advertised itself as five stars but did not meet those expectations. Room service made mistakes and i did not receive requested items. housekeeping was not consistent. I found that instant coffee was available instead of real coffee. overall, i found the service lacking the standards i expect.
