unfilled minibar limited hours
The minibar was not refilled daily. This was quite inconvenient. The bar had limited hours. It closed early on one of the nights. I expected better service considering the hotel's rating. The tissue box wasn't full, this should have been checked by the housekeeping staff. (A small detail, but details matter!)
