some issues encountered
pillowcase hairpoor insulation
The lack of cleanliness was immediately apparent. I found hair on my pillowcase. the room was also uncomfortably cold. I suspect the old infrastructure contributed to poor insulation. the noise was another issue, i could clearly hear conversations. these factors detracted from what should have been a relaxing stay, i think the hotel needs improvements in these areas.

The entrance was not very easy to find. but I figured it out eventually!
