some issues

leaking coffee machine limited hanging space

i found a couple of things annoying . the coffee machine leaked and was never replaced despite my reporting it three times. also, there wasn't enough hanging space for clothes or towels. when i brought this up, the front desk said many guests mention it but the owners prefer the simplicity. i disagree.

hallway lights dim lights

The breakfast had a good range of food options.

The hallway lights were indeed too dark, just like others said. I hoped they improved it but they didn't. Lights in the room itself were also dim. Turning on bright lights should be an option.
