Decent Stay with Some Issues

dim light unfixed problem
My stay had some drawbacks. The bathroom light switched between being too dim and not working at all. I reported this, but it remained unfixed . The bathroom lock also presented a problem. It locked from the inside, it did not lock from the outside, a security concern..

missing service single coat hanger
the room was lovely and clean.
i was disappointed to find that my room was not cleaned during my three-night stay. i also noticed only one coat hanger was available in the wardrobe, a fairly basic amenity. there wasn't a bedside light, made reading in bed rather difficult because i had to use the overhead light.

The room had a spacious bathroom. I found a good large shower cubicle. The breakfast was freshly cooked (i liked this feature). It was a nice way to start the day.
My room was on the ground floor. There were tables directly outside the window. There was no double glazing, so it was loud at night.
