missing battery cover inconvenient operation
the location was central to the harbour area i was visiting and handy for the train station. self service continental breakfast was available.
The room was small. the television remote was missing a battery cover. i requested a replacement, but it never arrived, and it was inconvenient to operate the tv without it. This impacted my viewing experience.
