Acceptable, but Some Issues

carpet stains weak wifi
The carpet had too many stains. It really impacted the feeling of cleanliness. The WiFi signal was also very weak in the room. I experienced frequent interruptions. I was not informed about the heating system. It could not keep the room warm because of the big window (this was in winter).
