Acceptable stay

secure building friendly host dusty room stained kettle

The building felt very secure. The lady who welcomed me at check-in was really friendly. She explained everything I needed for my stay. I appreciate the fridge in the room stocked with water.

The room felt dusty in places. I did not use the kettle because the element was to lost chrome. The inside part was stained brown. I noticed many signs warning about staining sheets or towels. Guests must pay for any damages.
