Toilet not working

Disliked:Although the property itself is beautiful, the neighborhood feels safe, and the staff were very friendly, my experience at this hotel was extremely unpleasant. I stayed in room 1D, which was generally in a rather run-down condition. There was barely any proper lighting—only one dim bulb near the bed. Whenever I needed to see anything clearly, I had to leave the bathroom light on. The bedside lamp also had a loose connection and flashed repeatedly when switched on, which was particularly alarming in the middle of the night. The far more serious issue, however, was the broken toilet. It would flush once, but after that it would not flush properly again. As a result, throughout our stay, we had to fill the waste bin with water from the extremely slow-running tap and pour it into the toilet to flush it manually. Having to use a waste bin as a bucket to dispose of toilet waste was deeply unhygienic, disgusting, and completely unacceptable for a hotel stay. The receptionist was friendly, but the issue was not resolved. When I raised it again the following day, I was simply told to hold down the flush button for longer. A plumber later came to inspect the toilet, but it was still not properly repaired. There were also problems in the room above us, and maintenance workers were moving around the property and carrying out repairs throughout the morning. Despite this, our toilet remained defective until we checked out. This is particularly disappointing because the property itself has a great deal of charm and the staff were kind. However, none of that can compensate for having no reliably functioning toilet and being forced to flush human waste manually with water from a waste bin for the entire stay. P.S. After the stay, I contacted the owner to request an appropriate discount. The owner now appears to question the seriousness of the situation because I did not approach her several times a day.
