Mixed Feelings About My Stay

great selectiondated exteriorbroken window
The breakfast had a great selection of options.
The exterior looks quite dated and could use a good cleaning. It gave a poor first impression. the window in my room was broken and wouldn't close properly. I reported it, but nothing was done, and I had to wedge a towel in the window to block the noise.

small double beduncomfortable room
Our room was quite warm. A heating pipe ran through it. I couldn't adjust the temperature, even though it was summer. The double bed felt small, maybe because of the room's warmth. I didn't sleep well. it was stuffy and uncomfortable. the room needs better ventilation and a more comfortable bed.
