dim lighting chipped paint

i was a bit disappointed with some aspects of the room. the lighting felt quite dim, even with all the lights on. also, i noticed a few small maintenance issues like chipped paint and a slightly loose faucet in the bathroom.. it wasn't a major problem, but it did detract a little from the overall impression. the breakfast buffet could use a bit more variety. there were some good options, but after a couple of days, it became a bit repetitive.
