Acceptable Stay with a Major Drawback

easy accessbathroom cleanlinessshower door
The location allowed easy access to local attractions.
The bathroom cleanliness was unacceptable. I noticed dust on the skirtings and mold on the shower's silicone. The shower door was off its hinges, failing to close properly and letting water leak onto the floor. This definitely needs attention!
