carpet stainstv remote
The room was pretty basic. i found some questionable stains on the carpet, and the bathroom mirror had this weird film i couldn't wipe off. the tv remote didn't work properly either. I had to stand right in front of the tv and press the buttons really hard. also, the soundproofing was terrible. I could hear everything from the hallway and the next room, hard to sleep early.
