Decent Room, Some Disappointing Aspects

lengthy processuntidy area
My room temperature was too warm, even with two fans available. The outside areas looked untidy, with beer barrels near the entrance. The building's exterior also seemed neglected. Gutters were hanging, and roof tiles were either missing or displaced (it was a safety hazard). I expected more from the overall appearance of the hotel.
