satisfactory breakfastfaulty temperature controlinadequate ventilation

The breakfast was satisfactory.

The shower's temperature control was faulty it alternated rapidly between lukewarm and scalding. A towel also remained wet overnight likely due to inadequate ventilation in the bathroom. I expected better.
