Acceptable Stay With a Few Issues

uncomfortable sofa lack of heating
The biggest issue was the uncomfortable lounge chairs and sofa (seriously, who designed those?). I noticed several stains on the lounge rug and sofa, not ideal. But the absolute worst part was the complete lack of heating and hot water. There was no offer of any real help. They just suggested I could leave if I wanted to. It's november. Some warmth would have been welcome.
