adequate stay with noticeable issues
broken blind constant draft
The room was large and well appointed. It provided ample space for our belongings.
The bathroom window would not close. This caused a constant draft. the blind in the bathroom was broken, and remained permanently closed. it banged against the window during the night, a constant disturbance to sleep.

The communal areas seem a bit tired.
