Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The rooms weren't even cleaned properly. Spiderwebs in the corners. Min amount of toilet paper, dirty quilt with a stain that looked like blood. Floors didn't look vacuumed. Staff didn't even ask for ID during check in.
