basic but flawed

central locationlow water pressurecracked sink
the location was pretty central for walking around , i guess.
i had issues with the water pressure in the shower , it barely trickled. the bathroom needed some serious updating , the sink had a crack running through it. also , some inconsiderate guests woke me up both nights with their noise , so that wasn't ideal.

The location proved convenient. It was only a short walk to the town center. I found the room to be clean and spacious (more than I expected, actually).
The shower pressure was quite low. The shower cubicle was also quite small. I thought the stairs could use a vacuum.
