Adequate Stay with Noticeable Issues

The location was convenient for accessing city center attractions.

My room had some cleanliness issues. I found hairs in the bathtub after it was supposedly cleaned. there were stains on the carpet (which I found quite unappealing) and they didn't seem to vacuum the room thoroughly.
