mixed feelings about this stay

dirty bathroom damaged door

the soft bedding was acceptable.

the communal bathroom was not clean, i noticed stains everywhere. also, there was dust on skirting boards. the room door was hanging off its hinges and the metal threshold plate was bent. this meant the door would not shut properly!
