Clean room but not comfortable. Hard bed, harder pillows. No place to sit but on the hard bed, a worn out cushioned chair and a hard back wooden chair. This was a BASIC room. No mini fridge or microwave. Bathroom small and vintage. Only one light in bathroom that does not illuminate the shower stall.
