Acceptable but Flawed

freezing bathroomloud pipe
The bathroom lacked proper heating. I found the water pressure in the shower a bit weak. I also noticed a strange clanging noise coming from the pipes during the night. It definitely made sleeping difficult, and I did not get much rest.

good foodchipped paintleaking shower
the breakfast choice was good. food was of a good standard.
Our room needed some attention. Chipped paint was evident throughout. the shower tray leaked water onto the floor, and the toilet seat was not properly fixed. i also noted the sink drained slowly. This needs addressing.
