For me, its not so much lack of features as the generally shabby
appearance of the hotel. The lobby is very impressive at first sight,
but when you look closer you see the lack of attention to detail.
Tears in carpets that haven't been repaired properly and things like
that. Walk around the pool area and you can see paving stones missing
and a general lack of quality maintenance. I haven't seen the rooms,
but I would guess that's reflected there as well.
That doesn't seem to stop them charging top prices though.
