Lack of sufficient bathroom toiletries
Many guests felt disappointed for the lack of bathroom toiletries. Guests reported that there were no hand soaps in the sink and no shower bar soaps provided. You can always bring your own toiletries with you during your stay. Moreover, there are many stores nearby where you can buy not just bathroom supplies but other products as well.
