What complaints (tips extortion, food, cleaning) should I expect at a budget all-inclusive hotel in Egypt?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago

TL;DR

According to traveler reports: no outright extortion at check-in, but porters always expect tips; food is repetitive but not spoiled; animation exists but is weak; the biggest downside is poor room cleaning.
