The hotel has become run down. The floors in my room had gotten wet and buckled, making it dangerous in bare feet. The staff offered to change the room, but it would have been for one with two separate beds. There is no room service (only breakfast). One of the major concerns was that anyone "brown" - Arab or Turkish appearing - were stopped and registered even though they were registered guests, while anyone European looking was let in without question. This felt very discriminatory.
