Mediocre stay. Issues noted
building appearance hygiene concerns
The provided water pressure was sufficient for the bathrooms and kitchen.
The initial impression WAS disappointing. The building was old and not well-kept. I observed bird droppings on the balcony, which raised hygiene concerns. The room smelled upon entry and lacked an electrical socket near the bed. The wi-fi did not work, a problem as there was poor phone reception.
