short walkheating onlyinconsistent housekeeping

the location was acceptable, being a short walk to the train station.

The room i received differed significantly from what i booked. specifically, i reserved a room with air conditioning, but the unit only provided heating, rendering it useless . this discrepancy was disappointing and affected my overall comfort (i expect a certain level of precision). also, housekeeping was inconsistent. My room was not serviced daily, inconvenient.
