Its difficult 2 run a hotel but easy 2 run it down

They have a R100 cash deposit for the key which we didnt know about. After some time staring at each other the receptionist said its okay. There was no wifi at all and the staff didnt really seem to care. The bathroom light wasnt working which I informed them the next morning and they came to replace the bulb after 17h00 the next day when we were resting. No hot water, just luke warm. They seem to clean the room everything the eye can see, but under the bed the dust are piling up. Beds are comfy. Only 2 channels on the TV was without static. Beautiful art in the hotel. Some mold spots on the wall and ceilings
