Adequate stay. Some issues noticed

noisy extractor fan bathroom shelf
i found the bathroom extractor fan made a really intolerable noise. it seemed like a fire hazard, and the staff must have known about it, yet it persisted. there were no shelves in the bathroom either, only a single coat hook behind the door.
