Room was not clean, door to room was incredibly difficult to open. Door to building had broken glass and did not lock. Blankets and sheets had holes in them (like mice had been chewing?), paint was chipping in room, bathroom was old and dirty, towels were not folded so potentially used. Whole place not worth it
