dirty sinkoutdated room
the kettle situation was poor i had to place the tray on the floor to reach an outlet that is a low standard of safety furthermore the bathroom was not properly cleaned the back of the door had grime and the sink area was not clean these oversights impacted my perception of the hotel's maintenance practices a more thorough cleaning routine is needed i believe the room did not match the photos it was outdated.
