Acceptable Location. Some Deficiencies

peeling wallpaper limited amenities

The location proved adequate for exploring the area.

The room looked dated. I noticed the wallpaper peeling. No Tea or coffee provisions existed and i found only one plug socket for electronics. The view overlooked an alley with ongoing building work.
