Location fine, room disappointing

good locationmold on tilesbroken light
The hotel location was fine for getting around town.
My room felt small, with barely space for luggage. The bathroom had mold on the tiles, unpleasant. A light next to the bed did not work, and the curtains were too short to cover the window fully.

the location was ideal, near restaurants and shops.
the hotel lacked a lounge or bar area (a significant drawback). there was no place to sit other than the room itself. the receptionist suggested nearby cafes when i asked about waiting for my transfer.
