adequate but with shortcomings

convenient locationunattractive viewbathroom cleaning

the location offered convenient access to nearby attractions.

The room i was assigned faced an unattractive view of a garage. this proved disruptive as activity continued late into the night. furthermore, the room was dated. The bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned, a concern for a demanding guest (like myself).
