Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
faulty lightbulbs flaking varnish
The location was advantageous because it was in the town center.
The room I booked was not properly maintained. There were several lightbulbs out. Varnish on the bedside tables were flaking off, which I find unacceptable at the cost of this room. The shower fittings were also not secure. I consider it a hazard.
