available kitchenfaulty tapintrusive noise
Location proved quite adequate. The hotel does have a kitchen, available for resident use. This kitchen came fully stocked with essentials such as milk, coffee, tea, sugar, bread, and butter.
The room allocated to me was unsatisfactory. I observed that a faulty tap in the bathroom dripped incessantly throughout my stay. The noise was particularly intrusive during the night, impeding sleep. I made several attempts to resolve this, but was unable to remedy the situation.
