outdated condition unprofessional remark

The rooms felt small and definitely need some tlc. For a place calling itself upscale, the condition seemed old and NOT what i expected. The WORST part was they wouldn't give me water on the day i left. Seriously? (i mean, COME ON). When i asked about it, the manager asked how much i paid for the room. I thought that was unprofessional and unnecessary.

Satisfactory Stay

breakfast portion generous portions pool temperature pleasant scent gardenia room refurbishment outdated condition drinking water

The breakfast portions were very generous. The pool temperature was excellent. The garden had gardenia and jasmine. This created a pleasant scent.

The room urgently needs some refurbishment. The overall condition of the hotel felt outdated. The hotel refused drinking water on the check-out day.
