Mixed Feelings About This Stay

acceptable locationincorrect plugdefective telephone
The hotel's location was acceptable, with easy access to nearby shops and restaurants.
I had issues with the in-room amenities. The hairdryer lacked the correct plug, and the telephone was out of service (I hope they fix that). Staff members did not handle my concerns about these issues effectively.
