Acceptable Stay, but Issues Noted

easy sightseeingbathroom moldtemperature adjustment
The location was near tourist spots. This made sightseeing fairly easy.
My room had some cleanliness issues, I saw stains on the chair and mold in the bathroom. I could not adjust the temperature. The room remained too warm. I did not like that.
