mixed feelings about my stay

pleasant staffmouldy grouthigh temperature
The front desk staff were pleasant. It was easy to check in.
The room cleanliness was below expectations. I noticed mould in the bathroom grout. There was also a layer of dust above the bed, disappointing. The thermostat did not work well. It was difficult to regulate the temperature, and the room remained too warm. The pool looked cloudy. This made me hesitant to swim.
