location good, other aspects disappointing

disinterested staff old furniture
The staff seemed disinterested during check-in. They were occupied with their phones, causing a 15-minute delay, then only pointed toward the elevator. our room felt average and small. the furniture was old. i found that there wasn't a tea kettle in the room.

mixed feelings about my stay

slow elevator missing kettle
The check-in process wasn't smooth. The staff seemed a bit preoccupied with their phones. i waited a while, and then they just gave me a key without much explanation. also, my room didn't have a tea kettle. it was disappointing to not have that convenience!
