difficult location stained shower curtain

the breakfast was ok, nothing to rave about, but definitely edible.

The location was a nightmare to reach. Every tuk-tuk driver acted like they were climbing everest. the room itself was a bit grim, and the shower curtain had some questionable stains. i suspect the cleaning crew took the day off.

mixed feelings about THE stay

musty odor slow drain

the room was nice initially. i noticed the bathroom lacked proper ventilation. a musty odor lingered, and the shower drain was very slow. this caused water to pool during showers, a little inconvenient.
