Acceptable stay, some issues present

unclean bathroom sink stain
The staff was helpful during check-in answering my questions without issues.
The bathroom was not properly cleaned I found some hairs and a stain on the sink upon arrival I had to clean it myself before using it I expected better attention to detail.
