basic foodslow check-in
the food was quite basic. there was no variety and it tasted very bland. i was expecting a higher standard of cuisine from a supposedly high-end hotel. additionally, the check-in process was slow. it took an excessive amount of time to receive my room key. this was very inconvenient after a long journey.
