toilet seat hair early hammering
the room seemed alright but lifting the toilet seat revealed hair around the rim. not pleasant at all to see that. also, i would have liked more than two tiny milk pots for my tea. the hammering and drilling from workmen at 08:05 was quite a rude awakening considering it was supposed to be a relaxing stay.

the mattress felt cheap. it seemed a spring mattress, not suitable for two people. the bathroom looked quite dated. the paper was coming away from the wall, and the sink lacked a mixer tap.
