Acceptable stay, but could improve

big room spacious room greasy oven smoke alarm

The room I was allocated was big. It was spacious. The furniture inside seemed adequate. Contact with the house manager were good, which I appreciate.

The room I booked online weren't what I received. The oven looked greasy when I tried to use it, which caused a smoke alarm. This situation was not ideal for my visit.
