Underwhelming Experience

dim lighting extra charge

The staff was friendly enough, I suppose.

My room, a Secret Grand Beautiful Twin, lacked basic functionality. The lights were so dim, I could barely see and the ventilation was terrible, I think. they charged extra for a toothbrush. Are they serious?
