underwhelming stay
small television inconvenient location
The room lacked basic amenities. There was no internal telephone for contacting reception. the television was slow and small. furthermore, the cleanliness was not up to standard. I noticed cobwebs in the room, and the floor was never cleaned . the hotel is inconveniently located because it is difficult to access.
