Hotel and room were very clean. Breakfast was all packaged, nothing fresh. No coffee cups at 6:30am. Carpet worn and stained throughout hallways and rooms. Room had worn/damaged furniture. Felt very much like a place that people live in for extended stays.
Just a depiction of wear and tear. Instead of replacement door, this was the solution 😂
