This was a very bad experience. Hate to say the worst. Bed covers were torn. Door handles are loose. If you pull the door, the knob comes off. Two common bath rooms for about 20 or 30 rooms. Front door of the room has a lock, but the back door, simply opens if you simply push hard enough.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Knowledge of staff. Bed covers, bathrooms.
