Acceptable Stay, Disappointing Room Issues

defective bathroom tap unswitchable lights
The hotel's location proved acceptable for exploring the city.
My stay included some very frustrating issues with the room itself. The bathroom tap sprayed water everywhere unless barely turned on, it was almost unusable. I also couldn't fully switch off the lights, so I unplugged lamps for darkness, which should not happen in this type of hotel.
