Average Stay with Unresolved Issues

The location was convenient, only a short walk from the main street.
There was no prior notification about this, and I received no apology upon arrival (a heads-up would have been nice). Despite vacant rooms, I was not offered a different one and the hosts became scarce after my initial complaint.
