One day the elevator was out of service. The sink in the bathroom was malfunctioning and the waste paper basket lid kept falling off on the floor with a loud "bang" as its holding hook was broken. The air conditioning did not work properly, only as a fan blowing air around with no cooling whatsoever. Keeping the window open at night was not an option as the street was quite noisy. Breakfast was quite frugal. To crown it all, it took me 25 minutes to check out with only one person in front of me as the clerk was in no hurry at all! Generally, I would opt out for a more expensive hotel like Normandie where I stayed last time.
