loose toilet seat stained carpet

The staff were lovely and did everything they could. Taxis were easy to arrange. The location worked well for attending a wedding.

My room looked tired and needed some serious TLC. The toilet seat was loose and the bathtub had black marks. Wallpaper peeled off the ceiling, stains marked the carpet, and the curtain didn't close properly because hoops were missing. Seriously?!
