dated facilities , disappointing shower

faulty radiator outdated furniture
the breakfast was ok.
The shower barely worked , and the curtain stuck to me the entire time. the room was like it needed updating . The decor seemed like it had not changed in decades , with worn carpets and outdated furniture. i was also frustrated that the radiator did not work properly , i felt cold the entire stay.
