a few quirks

cold water hanging curtain
The room seemed rather basic. the shower wasn't in a separate bathroom but was at the doorway. It leaked and the water ran cold, quite annoying! also there was rarely someone at reception. So reporting anything proved difficult. The curtain was also practically falling off, it wasn't a great look.
