Make sure you lock your door properly

Typical country motor inn with exposed brick walls for the interior—overall, very tired and dated. On the plus side, the room was relatively clean (except the lounge), and the bed was reasonably comfortable. However, the booking process was a nightmare: I booked two nights through a third-party site, then cancelled one night within the no-cost window and rebooked accordingly. Despite this, upon arrival (reception was only open until 3 pm), they had two bookings for me instead of one and could only put me in a spa suite (which I didn't need). After some haggling, the receptionist lowered the price, but it was still more than the quoted rate. At that point, I decided not to argue further. Obviously, pets are allowed, as a barky dog was next door! On a MASSIVE NEGATIVE, I was getting out of bed to shower when I was confronted by a woman letting herself into my room with a key—no warning, no knock. This is very, very poor form. I should have snubbed the door, but this is a huge security lapse. Other areas where the inn needs improvement: The alarm clock wasn't plugged in or set. Wi-Fi speed was very slow—barely worth the effort. The showerhead had green calcification all over it. The fan in the ensuite sounded like it was about to take off. Wi-Fi signs and other notices were dirty and brown. The air conditioning unit is ancient and ineffective, even at 18 degrees on a hot night. All the wood paneling is chipped and worn, in desperate need of an overhaul. The linen was thread
