Average Stay with Some Disappointments

good locationdark roomunclean toilet
The location was good for the purpose of my visit.
The room was dark. I had to turn on the TV to get more light and I still could only read near the bathroom sink. The toilet had not been properly cleaned and I noticed floating matter upon arrival. The bed was too large making it hard to move around the room.
