mixed experience due to noise and cleanliness issues

broken toilet seat disruptive noise

the room needed maintenance , i noticed curtains hanging off the rail and a broken toilet seat. the bathroom felt cold , i suspect due to the old window frame causing condensation. the tv aerial lacked an end , so i had to push the copper wire directly into the back of the tv , past a thick layer of dust. also , i found the noise from the bar to be quite disruptive late into the night , impacting my sleep quality.

cramped room falling curtains

The room felt quite cramped. There was not enough space around the bed. I found the curtains were falling down, and there were holes in the net curtain. The window could open but would not stay open (it was quite warm in the room).
