rushed cleaninghigh room rate

The room rate felt high for what I got. The cleaning felt rushed. It looked like only a quick tidy-up. there was no fridge in the room, a definite inconvenience. Storing items downstairs worked, but wasn't ideal! And I discovered later that I was double-charged tax. It took some effort to resolve that with my travel insurance.
