Adequate Stay with Some Disappointments

slow shower broken remote
The shower pressure was quite weak. A dirty filter was also present in the shower. The remote control for the television did not function properly. The room codes seemed to be distributed without proper verification, giving me codes for multiple rooms. This made me worry about security and affected my sleep.
