Acceptable, but some issues

acceptable locationloose socketscramped bathroom
The location was acceptable and I did not have any trouble accessing nearby attractions.
The room needed maintenance. The electrical sockets were loose and felt unsafe. One of the lamps did not work. I had to unplug it to turn it off! the bathroom was very cramped. There was hardly room to hang towels after showering.
