lukewarm showerroom uncleaned
the room cleanliness was initially a problem upon arrival the room had not been properly cleaned. after a long journey i wanted a refreshing shower but the power shower was only lukewarm. the noise from the bar downstairs continued until 2am disrupting sleep this made rest difficult.
