“The condition of some rooms can be quite surprising, and not in a good way, with cleanliness issues, broken fixtures, and gaps under the entry door raising concerns; I think guests looking for a worry-free stay might find these issues detract from the experience. Resolving billing discrepancies seems to be a recurring challenge based on what I read, impacting the overall sense of security and trust.”
