Acceptable Location, Problems with Cleanliness

convenient locationdusty roomimpolite staff
The location proved convenient as it was near the train station.
The room wasn't up to par. Dust was everywhere, likely thanks to air conditioner filters I suspect needed changing. The staff at breakfast seemed too focused on my plate, staring and whispering in a corner, it made for awkward eating.
