mixed experience due to some issues

the room was new in an older renovated house.
I waited a long time after check-in to actually get in. the key would not work, so i had to contact the owners repeatedly. this delay outside was unacceptable in the cold. It soured the start of the stay.

The room was lovely. It had a king size bed that was comfortable. There was also a kettle and coffee machine. I found the shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
There were far too many light switches. I found it confusing to operate the lights. The bathroom was not totally clean. I noticed old blood stain on a sheet so I did report it.
