Liked: Amenities
It's very old, bed sheets were very clean but toilet bowl was dirty. Behind the curtains there were spider webs and very dirty. It needs a very good deep clean around the windows seals and the bathroom. Fridge needs to be changed it was rusty. I guess that for what we paid we can't expect all of this stuff to be done
