Acceptable stay

secure buildingfriendly hostdusty roomstained 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 looked 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.
