Acceptable stay but some issues noted

old fixturesroom door
The room showed some wear. The bathroom fixtures looked quite old. I found the staff at reception to be a bit preoccupied, and getting help with my luggage took more effort than it should have. That was a pain. the noise from the room door every time it closed was quite irritating.
