underwhelming and overpriced

nonexistent view extra charge
the location, i guess, was fairly central, so there is that.
the room faced an interior wall, so the view was stunningly nonexistent and the coffee and tea in the room cost extra, are you serious? i mean, for the price of the room, i feel like complimentary tea bags aren't a huge ask. also, the elevator sounded like it was about to fall apart every time it moved. i'm not sure what i was paying for.
