hot water useful fridge dusty room mismatched furniture

the shower was lovely. it had a good pressure and plenty of hot water. the microwave and fridge were really useful. i put my snacks and drinks in there.

the room were a bit dusty. i think it could have used a deeper clean and the furniture was mismatched. it felt a little dated, not so charmed really.

dead spiders mismatched furniture

The bathroom cleanliness was not up to standard. I noticed some dead spiders. also, the furniture seemed mismatched and dated. i believe an upgrade and a thorough cleaning would greatly benefit the hotel. the mirror's placement opposite the wall from the sink made shaving inconvenient.
