Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

I encountered a few problems . The television in my room had no signal. I found this very inconvenient. The bar menu listed several dishes as "sold out". there was a horrible stairwell smell that came from the kitchen up to our bedroom. It was not very good.

mixed feelings about this stay

bathroom hairs weak signal
the location was quite convenient to the city centre, i guess.
The room was far from super clean. I spotted hairs in the bathroom. also, the wi-fi was practically nonexistent. the signal was so weak, it might as well not have been there at all. I reminded me of i was back in the stone age.
