Old Hotel with much to improve. For example, carpets everywhere are stained and frankly disgusting and displeasing, especially in the rooms themselves. The wallpaper held a hoard of dust and the headboards of the beds where disgustingly stained too. The pillows smelt so strongly of hair grease and were so gross.
