Adequate Stay with Some Disappointments

stained floor tileslive wire

I found some issues with the room upkeep . The bathroom had some broken accessories and stained floor tiles , which gave a feeling of neglect. Also , the mobile charging plug had exposed live wires , a safety concern. There was no buffet breakfast. Guests could only order from a limited menu , once.
