Unfortunately, there was drilling in the room above us so we ate in our room listening to a ton of banging.
Hotel felt old overall and definitely not up to MO standards. FS or the new PH next time…
The new PH might have hot water and water pressure issues though. 100+ floors and the water tank is probably on the B2 or B3 level. I also have my doubts about the GM too.
