Acceptable Stay with a Few Disappointments

good locationlow ceilingmissing toiletries
The location was good for accessing nearby attractions.
The ceiling in my room was very low. I bumped my head several times. Basic toiletries were missing in the bathroom, and bending was necessary to enter the top floor. This was inconvenient.

The location was acceptable. The room was generally clean.
The breakfast timings did not suit my schedule and I missed it every day. I was also quite disappointed that the promised toiletries in my room were missing. I had to buy them separately, it was a true inconvenience.
