Nice property to stay but need some maintenance

Nice big room , beds are comfy, bathroom is big and clean but during my 5 days stay first 2 days toilet clogged 3 times , drain smell bad whole my stay. Fridge only works when we insert the key to the slot. I believe this is a wrong concept for a fridge. It should work continuously during a guest stay. The outside of the hotel looks nice and clean. Pool looks clean too. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant is so so tasty and have many varieties to try.
