dated decorinconsistent pressure

the room's decor felt a bit dated , especially the floral wallpaper. i also noticed some dust in hard-to-reach corners , such as behind the headboard and on the higher shelves. it wasn't a deal-breaker , but it did detract from the overall impression of cleanliness. the shower pressure was also inconsistent , fluctuating between a trickle and a more forceful spray.
