basic toiletries low shower pressure

I found the room slightly disappointing. the provided toiletries seemed rather basic for a guesthouse. I expected a bit more luxury. the shower pressure was also quite low. It felt a bit weak for a place that aims for a 4-star experience.

I arrived and the room looked tidy at first glance. I soon noticed the bathroom mirror had quite a few smears. The towels also had some marks. I ended up using my own. It was a bit disappointing, as I hoped for better attention to detail.
