helpful host clean room breakfast time jammed plug cold water missing fan
The host was cute and helpful. I had a twin room private bathroom. The room was clean. Breakfast was delivered to my room at the time I requested.
The sink plug got jammed and I could not empty it. Water was cold in the shower. There was no fan in the room so I purchased one to keep cool.
