Acceptable Stay but Lacking Attention to Detail

water stains insufficient parking
The room showed some signs of wear I really did not expect. Water stains marked one wall and the headboard wasn't clean either. Getting around was also annoying because the lift only fits three people at a time so a wait was almost inevitable. The parking situation was quite difficult I ended up paying extra to park on the street.
