worn furniture obstructed view

the location was acceptable, close enough to everything i suppose.

The room i got, a luxury queen room high floors, felt pretty worn. the furniture had scratches and stains, i found that quite disappointing. also, the promised high floor view was obstructed by another building. That was definitely not what i paid for.
