Careful of your room choices

I would say this, be specific about what room type you stay in. Last time here, we upgraded to a balcony room. Well it’s not really a balcony room , but more of a public walkway. This stay, I did not upgrade but asked for a decent room. Our widow opened up to a cement shaft. Looked like we were at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
