Average Stay with a Few Annoyances

vegetarian optionssmelly pillowsconstant noise
The breakfast had a surprising number of vegetarian options.
The pillows smelled like old men's armpits , which was quite off-putting. Mold was also present in the bathroom , so the shower cabin was unusable. Mechanical ventilation above the room made a constant rotating noise with a low frequency of 50hz , and it measured a 40+ decibels.
