Underwhelming Stay with a Few Glitches

cracked tilesdirty carpet
I must say, the room wasn't exactly super clean. Cracked bathroom tiles were a prominent feature, and the carpet seemed to have seen better days. There was even some dirt inside the wardrobe. The air conditioning only blew cold air, a bit of a nuisance, though thankfully an oil-filled radiator somewhat compensated for it. I also found the absence of certain 'nice touches' rather disappointing, especially given the price point.
