Decent Stay but Some Issues Noted

uncomfortable bedinconsistent hot water
The bed was REALLY uncomfortable. It seemed worn out and lumpy. I couldn't get the shower to work properly. It just wouldn't produce consistent hot water. I reported this at breakfast, BUT the staff didn't seem too concerned, saying no one else had mentioned a problem.
