mixed feelings about the hotel

single-glazed windowsmissing hand shower
The room seemed a bit tired. i noticed single-glazed windows. I could easily hear street sounds. the shower was missing a hand shower. This made things less convenient for me, and there were no bedside lamps, so i had to get out of bed to turn off the main light. it was not ideal.

rushed refurbishmentno fan
The recent refurbishment looked rushed, and there was paint in many places. The windows were painted shut. I found no fan in the room, and the warm weather. Housekeeping did not refill the tea and coffee supplies in my room. This felt disappointing considering the price I paid.
