faulty light switch difficult temperature

the breakfast was ok.

The room i stayed in had some issues. The light switch by the door didn't work so i had to use a torch to find the switch by the bed! also, maintaining a consistent water temperature in the shower was difficult. the tv was placed in an alcove by the wardrobe.

unkempt garden sticky tables

I was initially given a terribly small room. it faced the back of other buildings and an unkempt garden. the tables in the restaurant felt sticky. Some had crumbs from previous guests.. also, i noticed a musty smell in the corridors, quite unpleasant. it just wasn't what i expected for the price i paid.
