acceptable stay with issues

dated fixtures uneven plastering

the bed was comfortable, appreciated after long days.

The room's small size was frustrating. It felt cramped. the bathroom fixtures was dated and not what i expect. i also noticed uneven plastering near the bottom of the walls, which detracted from the overall appearance.
