deactivated keys obstructed views
the location was acceptable, situated close to many public transport options.
I encountered issues with the room keys. They deactivated daily. each morning, i had to visit reception to reactivate them, consuming valuable time. also, the advertised city views were obstructed by neighboring buildings. it was a frustrating experience.
