moldy smell cash payment

The room i got wasn't great. room 103 smelled moldy, and the toilet room also had a bad smell. breakfast was just ok. when i checked in, the guy at the desk wanted cash for the city tax and wouldn't give me a receipt. This felt strange.

noisy courtyard leaky faucet

I thought the location near the train station was handy. our room faced a noisy courtyard, and sleep was difficult. The air conditioning barely worked, and the outdated bathroom had a leaky faucet. It wasn't the relaxing stay I'd hoped for. The noise and faulty amenities were persistent issues. the breakfast was also not tasty at all!
