Someone's old milk drink left in fridge on arrival; Shower floods the entire bathroom when used. Barely enough room to walk around bed. TV the size of a postage stamp and half the channels didn't work. Had a guy foraging for cigarette buts and begging for cigarettes outside my room. Yelling and screaming outside during the night Just overall awful, will never stay here again
