We didn’t like the cleanliness of the shower. The bathroom sink had a clogged drain. There were missing flushing operating parts on the toilet. The lounge furniture was dirty. The air conditioning had a bad order which triggered my allergies. Continuously triggering a cough. I had to sleep with the windows open and portable fan blowing for an entire night in order to keep from coughing. I had requested to change to a cleaner room without all of these issues. What they gave was a smaller room with no sofa but still a badly stained shower.
